Important Details Regarding Extension Form 8868
With the new year comes new tax seasons. Ready or not, it’s time to file. Luckily, you can file an extension for your forms 990, 7004, 4868, and more to give you more time to get all of your tax documents in order. Today we’re looking at everything you need to know for the extension form 8868.
All About Your Form 8868.
First of all, form 8868 is the extension organization tax extension form for nonprofits, charities, and other tax-exempt groups applying for an extension up to 6 months.
This extension is used when nonprofit groups need more time before filing their form 990, which is return of organization exempt from income tax form. It’s used by the government in order to make sure that nonprofit organizations and charities aren’t taking advantage of or abusing their exempt status.
Keep in mind that there are different form 990s
When you file for an extension the first time you’ll automatically receive an extension for 3 months. Because the extension is automatic, you don’t need to give a reason as to why you need the extension. Simply file the extension in time in order to gain the extension.
Now if you want to file a second extension, you can only do so if you properly filed your first extension in time. So, unfortunately, if you missed the deadline, don’t even think about it. Also, the second deadline isn’t automatic, so you’ll have to provide a valid reason for needing another extension.
What You Need To File Your Form 8868
No worries, filing your form 8868 is a quick and simple process. All you need is your:
– Organization name
– Address
– EIN/Tax-ID
– Tax year period
– And which form 990 you typically file.
However, keep in mind that this information needs to match the information that the IRS has on record. To verify that your information matches simply give the IRS a call at 1-877-829-5500.
