TaxZerone’s IRS-Authorized Platform Supports All 990 Forms with an Easy, Affordable E-Filing Process

SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, March 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nonprofit organizations following a calendar tax year must file their annual tax forms (Form 990 series) by May 15, 2025, to maintain their tax-exempt status and comply with IRS regulations.

Failure to file a required 990 return for three consecutive years results in an

automatic loss of tax-exempt status, making it crucial for nonprofits to meet this deadline. TaxZerone, an IRS-authorized e-file provider, supports the electronic filing of all 990 series forms and provides a streamlined solution for nonprofits to fulfill their tax obligations efficiently.

Understanding Form 990 and Filing Requirements:
The IRS requires tax-exempt organizations to file one of several variations of Form 990 based on their annual gross receipts and total assets:

🎯Form 990-N (e-Postcard) for organizations with gross receipts of $50,000 or less.
🎯Form 990-EZ for organizations with gross receipts below $200,000 and total assets below $500,000.
🎯Form 990 for larger organizations exceeding these thresholds.
🎯Form 990-PF for private foundations.
🎯Form 990-T for organizations that generate unrelated business taxable income (UBTI).

Additionally, organizations that need extra time to file may submit Form 8868 for an automatic six-month extension. It is crucial that organizations planning to request an extension file the actual Form 990 before the extended due date.

Key Steps for Filing:
Nonprofits can prepare and submit their 990 returns efficiently by following these steps:

1. Sign in or create an account with TaxZerone
2. Select the appropriate 990 form based on the organization's revenue and assets.
3. Complete and review the return for accuracy before submission.
4. Submit the form electronically to the IRS and receive confirmation upon acceptance.

For organizations that have previously filed their Form 990 with TaxZerone, the Click2File feature allows them to easily copy their prior year's return details in just one click.
