Your Form 990 Tells Your Nonprofit’s Financial Story

Accurate reporting helps protect your compliance while presenting your nonprofit’s finances, programs, and governance clearly and professionally.

Accurate and timely filing helps your nonprofit maintain its federal tax-exempt status and avoid unnecessary penalties.
Build Public Confidence
Donors and funders may review your Form 990 before deciding whether to support your organization.
Report Your Finances Clearly
Your return should accurately reflect your revenue, expenses, programs, governance, and financial position.

Form 990 Frequently Asked Questions
When is Form 990 due?
Form 990-series returns are generally due on the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of the organization’s tax year.
Can a nonprofit get an extension to file Form 990?
Many Form 990-series filers can request an automatic extension of time to file. An extension provides additional time to file the return but does not necessarily extend deadlines for other filings or payments that may apply.
Which Form 990 does my nonprofit need to file?
The required return depends on factors including your organization’s type, gross receipts, total assets, and whether it is classified as a public charity or private foundation.
What happens if our nonprofit does not file Form 990?
Late or missing returns can result in penalties, and organizations that fail to file required Form 990-series returns for three consecutive years generally face automatic revocation of federal tax-exempt status.Do you prepare Form 990 for nonprofits outside Texas?
Yes. The NonProfit CPA works remotely with nonprofit organizations across the United States.
Can you review or correct a prior-year Form 990?
Yes. We can review prior filings and accounting records to identify inconsistencies and determine what additional work may be needed.
