Not-for-profits making $50,000 or less

Don't lose your tax-exempt status over a missed 990-N.

If your nonprofit brought in $50,000 or less, the IRS wants a short annual e-Postcard — not a full return. 990epost turns it into a five-minute checklist in plain English.

Who the 990-N is for

Small organizations deserve a filing process that feels manageable.

Most small tax-exempt organizations can use the 990-N when annual gross receipts are normally $50,000 or less. Private foundations and some organization types follow different rules.

How filing works

From basic details to a filing confirmation in three clear steps.

01

Share the basics

Your legal name, EIN, tax year, principal officer, and gross receipts.

02

We check the details

We confirm the 990-N fits your organization before preparing the e-Postcard.

03

Review and submit

You review the information, then we submit and provide confirmation for your records.

What you will need

Gather a few facts. Leave the tax-form language to us.

The 990-N does not ask for financial statements or itemized expenses. It confirms a short set of facts about your organization and its eligibility.

  1. 01Legal name and any other names used
  2. 02Employer Identification Number (EIN)
  3. 03Mailing address and website, if applicable
  4. 04Principal officer's name and address
  5. 05Tax year and confirmation of gross receipts

Consecutive missed years

The deadline matters—even when there is no late-filing fee.

Failing to file for three years in a row automatically revokes federal tax-exempt status. The 990-N is generally due on the 15th day of the fifth month after your tax year closes.

Common questions

Clear answers before you file.

What is Form 990-N?

It is the IRS electronic notice for most small tax-exempt organizations whose gross receipts are normally $50,000 or less.

When is it due?

Generally, the 15th day of the fifth month after your tax year ends. A calendar-year organization is usually due May 15.

What if we miss a year?

There is no monetary penalty for filing late, but missing three consecutive years causes automatic revocation of tax-exempt status.

What if receipts are over $50,000?

You may need Form 990-EZ or Form 990 instead. We help confirm the right filing path before you begin.
