E-file Tax-Exempt Returns from Anywhere!

E-file Tax-Exempt Returns from Anywhere

For those of you running small exempt organizations, you know that you’re required to file an annual tax return with IRS. Even if your nonprofit or charity brought in little or no money for the filing year, you still need to report that fact to the federal government.

Filing for tax-exempt organizations can take a lot of time and paperwork - or it used to. If your tax-exempt group makes less than $50,000 a year, you can now e-file your tax return in minutes with ExpressTaxExempt.com. And the best part - you don’t need to be anywhere near a desk or computer at all!

ExpressTaxExempt - Form 990-N App
With this FREE downloadable mobile app, you can e-file IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) at anytime and anywhere from your favorite iOS or Android devices and handsets. Complete the entire filing process in less than 10 minutes - all you need is your basic organization details, tax year period, and confirmation of $50,000 or less in gross receipts.

Your form is checked for any errors before you submit to the IRS, and you’ll receive an email confirmation of approval soon after transmitting your form. The information goes directly to the IRS and nowhere else. If your return gets rejected, the app identifies the mistake so you can correct it and resend with no additional charges.

ExpressTaxExempt - Form 8868 App
For other exempt organizations with gross receipts over $50,000, and you need more time to file your IRS Form 990 or 990-EZ, you can also e-file the IRS Form 8868 tax extension at your convenience from iOS and Android tablets.

You can e-file your extension in just minutes with your organization’s basic information and tax year period - you’ll also need to select which IRS form you typically file for your tax-exempt group. Like the 990-N mobile app, your return gets scanned for any mistakes, and you gain access to PDF copies of your transmitted tax form.

We’re here to offer you the easiest, most streamlined filing experience so you can stay compliant with the IRS and quickly get back to running your organization smoothly.

E-file Form 990-N Before the Year Ends!

E-file Form 990-N Before the Year Ends!

There are only two full months left within the year, and if your small tax-exempt organization needs to file a tax return, ExpressTaxExempt.com has you covered. It’s not too late to transmit your IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) before the end of the year!

IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard)
The 990-N serves as an electronic notice and is for small organizations that make less than $50,000 - and that’s pretty much all you’re reporting to the IRS. There is no need for any exact amounts or schedules. The form is also electronic-only; you won’t find a paper version anywhere!

E-filing with ExpressTaxExempt.com
We make e-filing IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) as simple as 1-2-3! With our quick and easy steps, you can complete and transmit your form within minutes:

1. 1. Create a FREE account at ExpressTaxExempt.com
2. 2. Enter your Basic Organization Details
3. 3. Select the appropriate Tax Year
4. 4. Confirm your Gross Receipt
5. 5. Review Summary and Audit Report
6. 6. Authorize and Transmit to IRS

After submitting your 990-N, you’ll gain access to a printable copy of your e-Postcard summary and receive real-time email notification about your filing status. If the IRS rejects your e-file for any reason, we’ll identify the issue so you can make corrections and re-transmit at no extra cost!

IRS Penalties
There isn’t much of a penalty for filing Form 990-N (e-Postcard) late, which is why you still have until the end of the year to file. It doesn’t matter if your deadline was months ago - you’re still able to e-file.

There are consequences for not filing at all - fail to file for three consecutive years, and you’ll lose your tax-exempt status. You also can’t file an IRS Form 8868 extension form for e-Postcards. If you can’t file before the deadline, be sure to file as soon as possible afterward.

Important: The IRS e-filing system only supports three consecutive filing years at a time. As the new year begins, the oldest year gets dropped from support. These final two months will be the last time an organization can e-file for 2013. Your only option is to paper file IRS Form 990-EZ for any discontinued years.

Feel free to contact our U.S. - based, e-file professionals for valuable assistance or to answer questions about e-filing a 990 form. You can reach us at 704.839.2321, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST or 24/7 day and night with support@ExpressTaxExempt.com.

Trouble Finding the Right 990 Form? Let ExpressTaxExempt Make It Easy!

It’s important to know which tax return you’re required to file for your exempt organization - filing the incorrect form to the IRS gets rejected as an incomplete return, which can lead to penalties. The last thing you want is to pay thousands of dollars for a mistake that is easily avoidable.

For nonprofits, charities, and other organizations with exemption status, it’s mandatory that you correctly file the following forms with the IRS based on your organization’s gross receipts and assets:

• IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard) - Organizations with gross receipts less than $50,000
• IRS Form 990-EZ (short form) - Organizations with gross receipts between $50,000 and $200,000, and total assets less than $500,000
• IRS Form 990 (long) - Organizations with gross receipts greater than $200,000 and total assets greater than $500,000

The Right Form with ExpressTaxExempt
Selecting the correct 990 form with ExpressTaxExempt.com couldn’t be more straightforward. If you know your organization makes less than $50,000, you can choose to e-file the “990-N (e-Postcard)” or “Form 990 Series” if your organization brings in more money.

With the “Form 990 Series” option, we simply ask what your gross receipts are - either less than $200,000 or greater than $200,000. Whichever answer you choose, the appropriate form is automatically generated for you.

And the best part - let’s say our program creates a Form 990-EZ based on your answer for gross receipts; however, the amounts you’ve entered for total revenue are over $200,000. ExpressTaxExempt.com will suggest you e-file the 990 (long) and will allow you to continue with your new form without having to start from the beginning again.

Let us help you make federal filings simple so you can get back to making your community a better place. Give our U.S. - based support professionals a call for any questions about your e-filing experience - reach us at 704.839.2321, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST.
