As an authorized e-filer, we provide the most secure way to file your nonprofit taxes. You have access to your return at all times.

We want to partner with you so that going forward, we’ll provide answers and solutions when you have questions and problems. We truly are here to help you get the job done.
Reliability
You’ll never be late in filing your non-profit taxes when you partner with File990. Since your tax deadline is based on the fiscal year, we understand that sometimes it can sneak up on you. You are required to file five months and 15 days after the close of the fiscal year, and we’ll make certain that you’re aware of the deadline. We’ll send reminders to make sure you file on time.
Keep in mind that if you fail to file your 990 paperwork on time, you can lose your non-profit status. Although you don’t have to pay taxes on receipts for your organization, you do have to file with the Internal Revenue Service. We’ll send regular reminders when it’s time to file so you don’t have to worry about the deadline sneaking up on you.
We Keep You Up to Date
Face it: tax laws change. If you’re not staying up to date, the implications may not affect you until it’s too late to comply. That’s another reason why IRS Form 990 tax software can be not only helpful, but indispensable. We’ll keep you up to date so that you don’t miss new information that affects your organization.
For example, according to the Taxpayer’s First Act of 2019, all IRS 990 forms must be filed electronically with a fiscal year beginning after July 1, 2019. That means an authorized e-filer like File990 is not only helpful, but is also an indispensable assistant in properly filing your non-profit taxes. We’re here to make sure you succeed at staying in tax compliance while growing your nonprofit. We’ll worry about these details so that you don’t have to.
Here are other ways File990 can help you with your non-profit taxes.
