Organizations who filed an extension for the May 15, 2017 tax filing deadline must submit their appropriate 990 return by tomorrow, November 15.
In order to have this deadline, you must have filed Part I of extension Form 8868 back in May, and then, filed Part II before the end of your extended deadline in August. This is only applicable if your organization operates on a Calendar Tax Year.
Organizations with a Fiscal Tax Year have a second extended deadline six months beyond the 15th day of the 5th month after your tax period ends (only if you filed Part I & Part II).
What Exactly Do I Need To File?
Form 990 is the Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax form which many tax exempt organizations such as religious groups, educational groups, charities, and other nonprofit groups are required to file each year to provide the public with financial information about their organization.
Forms included in the Form 990 Series are Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF, and 990-N. These forms should be filed each year by a leader within your organization.
Failure to File Penalties
Failing to file by the November 15 deadline will lead to very expensive penalties, depending on the amount of gross receipts for your organization. If your organization collects $1,000,000 a year and you’re late with filing, the IRS will charge a penalty of $20 each day your form is late. The maximum penalty would be $10,000 or 5% of your gross receipts, whichever is the smaller amount. The penalty charge shoots up to $100 per day with a maximum of $50,000 for organizations that exceed $1,000,000 in gross receipts.
