The organizations that filed an IRS tax extension Form 8868 to extend a 990 deadline on September 15, 2023.

Form 990 Series – A Quick Recap

There are different variants of the 990 form available and the organization must choose and file the one that is applicable to them based on their gross receipts, assets, and the way they are funded.

Form 990-N: Applicable to small nonprofits with gross receipts of $50,000 or less.
Form 990-EZ: Applicable to organizations with gross receipts below $200,000 and total assets less than $500,000.
Form 990: Applicable to organizations with annual gross receipts equalling or surpassing $200,000 (or) total assets equalling or exceeding $500,000.
Form 990-PF: Applicable only to organizations that are classified as private foundations.
Form 990-T: This is a supporting form that the organization may need to file if the unrelated business income (UBI) is $1,000 or more.

IRS Shutdown and Impacted Nonprofit Tax Forms

The IRS currently doesn’t accept the e-filing of certain tax forms that are typically filed by nonprofits, as they have shut down their e-filing system for maintenance. The forms impacted by this shutdown are Form 990-T, 1120-POL, and 8868.

The organizations that need to file an extension Form 8868 (or) 1120-POL, can complete and mail the form to the IRS.
The organizations who are required to file Form 990-T can file an extension Form 8868 on paper and send it to the IRS. If they have already filed an extension and this March 15th is their extended deadline, then they should wait until the IRS e-file system re-opens on March 18, 2024, and file their return with a reasonable cause.

Despite the shutdown, making any required tax payments promptly is crucial to prevent the imposition of penalties or interest.
