A nonprofit tax return is the yearly report your nonprofit files with the IRS, on a form from the 990 family. The full versions show where your money came from and how it was spent, and most of it is open to the public. Skipping it three years in a row ends your tax exemption automatically.
Same return either way. Express is for a close deadline.

Four rules every nonprofit lives by.
Calendar year nonprofits file all four forms by this date.
Six more months for most returns, though never for the 990-N.

Most do, every year, even with no income. Churches, certain church groups and government units are not required to file. The smallest nonprofits can meet the rule with the short online 990-N.
Yes. A nonprofit allowed to use the 990-N can choose Form 990-EZ or Form 990 instead, for example when a grant maker asks to see full numbers. Pick the larger receipts answer on the card to price it.
By the 15th day of the 5th month after your year ends, which is May 15 for a calendar year. The date is the same for the 990-N, 990-EZ, 990 and 990-PF.
Yes, for Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF. Form 8868 gives 6 more months, and we file it at no cost. The 990-N has no extension, but a late one brings no penalty by itself.
For Forms 990 and 990-EZ, the IRS charges $25 for each day late, up to $13,000 or 5% of your gross receipts, whichever is less. Above $1,309,500 in receipts, it is $130 a day, up to $65,000.
Your tax exemption ends automatically, and the IRS lists the revocation publicly. To get it back, you apply to the IRS again. In some cases, the exemption can be restored to the date it ended.
Yes. Anyone can ask to see your last three returns, and the IRS publishes them online. Most nonprofits keep the names and addresses of their donors private, but a private foundation must show them.
Usually not. A state return is mostly needed for income from a business activity outside your mission, and a few states ask every nonprofit for one. Your card shows your state's rule once you pick it.
Your bank statements, a list of donations and grants, your expenses, and the names of your board members and officers. For a 990-N, a few details are enough, such as your address and an officer's name.
