The October 15 deadline is here, and for certain nonprofits, it may be the final opportunity to submit their Form 990 and remain compliant with IRS regulations.
Selecting a reliable e-file provider with all the essential features can make this last-minute process smooth and stress-free. Below, we’ll explain what you need to know about today’s deadline and how Tax990 can help ensure you meet it efficiently.
Understanding the Form 990 Deadline
Form 990 and its variants are generally due on the 15th day of the 5th month following the end of an organization’s tax year. Depending on whether your organization operates on a calendar or fiscal year, the deadline will vary:
- Calendar Tax Year: Organizations with a calendar year must file their Form 990 by May 15 of the following year.
- Fiscal Tax Year: For organizations using a fiscal year, the filing deadline is the 15th day of the 5th month after the fiscal year ends.
Is Your Organization Required to File Today?
If your organization fits into one of the following categories, today is your deadline:
- If your organization’s fiscal year ended on May 31, today is the due date for submitting your Form 990.
- If you were given a 6-month extension from the April 15 deadline, your extension expires today, so filing is mandatory to avoid penalties.
