What this category covers
This page groups IRS forms related to tax-exempt organizations (990 series).
Annual returns for tax-exempt organizations, private foundations, and unrelated business income. Includes exemption application forms (1023, 1024).
Tax-exempt organizations file the 990 series annually to report their finances, governance, and activities to the IRS. Form 990 is the full-length return for larger organizations, Form 990-EZ is a shorter version for mid-sized organizations, and Form 990-N (e-Postcard) is for very small organizations. Private foundations file Form 990-PF. Organizations with unrelated business income file Form 990-T. The exemption application forms — 1023 for charitable organizations and 1024 for other exempt organizations — are used to apply for tax-exempt status initially. These forms are publicly available and provide transparency into how tax-exempt organizations operate and use their funds.
