IRS Modernized e-File (MeF) is the name for the electronic filing system for certain tax and information returns. When a nonprofit organization e-files, it sends its information return data to IRS electronically instead of on paper forms.

E-file is faster, easier and more accurate than filing a paper return. E-file makes compliance with reporting and disclosure requirements easier by eliminating the need to make copies, assemble all of the appropriate schedules and attachments, and pay for postage.

To be tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in Section 501(c)(3), and non of its earnings may inure (provide a benefit) to any private shareholder or individual. 501(c)(3) organizations may not participate in any form of political campaigns or lobbying.

TAX EXTENSIONS FOR CHARITIES & NON-PROFITS

Page 10: IRS advice exempt organization to file form 990-n electronically

Tax-exempt organizations may file for an extension of time to file their Forms 990 with Form 8868. Be forewarned, this is only an extension of time to file, not an extension of time to pay any taxes owed.

Those organizations filing Form 990-N may not file to have their time extended. There are two parts of the Form 8868 an automatic extension and a non-automatic extension.

Though they are both for the same amount of time, the first part, the automatic extension, does not require any explanation, while the second part, the non-automatic extension, does require some explanation as to why the organization needs a second extension of time.

ANNUAL EXEMPT ORGANIZATION PENALTIES

Page 12: IRS advice exempt organization to file form 990-n electronically

The only sure-fire way to avoid penalties is to file in a timely and correct manner. Should you need more time, a Form 8868 should be filed. Unfortunately, once the deadline has been passed, penalties start to accrue immediately.

The penalty for late filing depends on an organization's gross receipts. If an organization whose gross receipts are less than $1,000,000 for its tax year files its Form 990 after the due date (including any extensions), and the organization doesn't provide reasonable cause for filing late, the Internal Revenue Service will impose a penalty of $20 per day for each day the return is late.

The maximum penalty is $10,000, or 5 percent of the organization's gross receipts, whichever is less. The penalty increases to $100 per day, up to a maximum of $50,000, for an organization whose gross receipts exceed $1,000,000.

EXEMPT ORGANIZATION RETURN: DUE DATE

Page 14: IRS advice exempt organization to file form 990-n electronically

The IRS explains, "return due dates are always on the 15th of the month. However, when the 15th of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, IRS accepts returns as timely filed if received by the next business day. This applies to extended due dates as well as original due dates".

990-N due date is dependent on your tax period. If your tax period beginning and ending dates are the same as the calendar year then your due date is May 15th. If your tax period beginning and ending dates are not the same as the calendar year, then your due date will be different. The IRS has published a schedule of the 990 filing deadline according to your tax period. The Form 990 filing schedule shows when your e-Postcard is due, as well as, the new deadline if you file for an extension.
