What are my filing responsibilities once I receive/apply for my tax-exempt status?
An organization that has $50,000 or less in gross income will file on-line form 990-N. An organizationmore that has more than $50,000 but less than $200,000 in gross receipts and less than $500,000 in assets may file an exempt organization information return Form 990-EZ. An organization that has $200,000 or more in gross receipts or $500,000 or more in assets must file Form 990. Any of these required returns is due on the 15th day of the 5th month after the end of the fiscal year. The due date may be extended for three months, without showing cause, by filing Form 8868 before the due date; an additional three-month extension may be requested on Form 8868 if the organization shows reasonable cause why the return cannot be filed by the extended due date.
