In this episode you will learn:
- The key filing thresholds for Form 990 are gross receipts of $200,000 or more, OR total assets of $500,000 or more.
- Organizations with gross receipts under $200,000 AND assets under $500,000 may be eligible to file the simplified Form 990-EZ.
- Private foundations must always file Form 990-PF, regardless of their income or asset levels.
- The filing deadline for the Form 990 series is the 15th day of the 5th month after the end of the organization's tax year.
- The Form 990 is an informational return for transparency, not a return for paying taxes, and failure to file for three consecutive years results in automatic revocation of tax-exempt status.
