Nonprofit returns and Form 990 details and preparation
What this service may cover
- Nonprofit annual filing can involve a Form 990 series return or notice. Ask which filing applies to your organization and whether the provider prepares that specific form and its schedules.
- Preparation may involve reviewing revenue, expenses, activities and governance information with management. A provider’s nonprofit audit or bookkeeping offer alone does not establish annual return preparation.
- Applications for tax-exempt status, state registrations, payroll and unrelated business income filings may be separate. Ask about these obligations rather than assuming they are included in an annual return quote.
What to prepare
- Bring the exemption determination letter, EIN, organizational documents, prior annual returns and any IRS or state correspondence.
- Gather financial statements, reconciled books and records of contributions, grants, fundraising and program activities for the filing period.
- Identify officers, directors, compensation records and related-party transactions. Flag new activities or changes in how the organization operates.
- Choose the person who will answer preparation questions, coordinate board or management review and approve the completed filing.
Questions to ask a provider
- Which annual form and schedules do you expect to prepare, and what information is still missing?
- Does the quote include state registrations or other returns, or only the annual federal filing?
- How will management review the draft, and what bookkeeping or compliance work needs a separate engagement?
