Form 990-series returns are due on the 15th day of the fifth month after an organization’s tax year ends. In 2019, May 15 is the deadline to file for organizations using a calendar year tax year. If you need an extension of time to file, use Form 8868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File an Exempt Organization Return.
IRS is sending back incomplete and incorrect returns
The IRS sends back Form 990 series returns filed on paper – and rejects electronically filed returns – when they are incomplete or the wrong return. What happens if my Form 990 is missing information or a schedule, or is the wrong return?
Electronic filing is good for everyone
The IRS encourages exempt organizations to file electronically, noting the error rate for electronically-filed returns is only 1 percent. To avoid errors, file electronically using one of the IRS eFile business providers.
