*IRS highlights key forms, topics for tax-exempt organizations ahead of May 15 filing deadline*

WASHINGTON — As the May 15 filing deadline approaches for tax-exempt organizations [ [link removed] ], the Internal Revenue Service highlights important forms and topics to ensure successful and timely filing.

The annual filing due date for certain returns filed by tax-exempt organizations is the 15th day of the 5th month after the end of an organization's accounting period [ [link removed] ]. Those operating on a calendar year basis must file a return by May 15. Returns due include:


* Form 990-series annual information returns [ [link removed] ] (Forms 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF).
* Form 990-N, Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) for Tax-Exempt Organizations Not Required to File Form 990 or Form 990-EZ [ [link removed] ].
* Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return [ [link removed] ] (other than certain trusts).
* Form 4720, Return of Certain Excise Taxes Under Chapters 41 and 42 of the Internal Revenue Code [ [link removed] ].

*Electronic filing*

Electronic filing ensures acknowledgement that the IRS has received the return and reduces processing time, making it easy to comply with reporting requirements. Organizations should remember the following when e-filing:


* Organizations filing a Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF or 990-T for calendar year 2023 must file their returns electronically.**
* Private foundations filing a Form 4720 for calendar year 2023 must file the form electronically.**
* Charities and other tax exempt organizations can file these forms electronically through an IRS Authorized e-File Provider [ [link removed] ].**
* Organizations eligible to submit a Form 990-N must do so electronically and can submit it through Form 990-N (e-Postcard) [ [link removed] ] on IRS.gov.

*Common errors*

The IRS encourages organizations to thoroughly review their forms to avoid common errors [ [link removed] ] such as missing or incomplete schedules. If an organization’s return is incomplete or is the wrong return for the organization, the return will be rejected.**

*Extension requests*

Tax-exempt organizations may request a six-month automatic extension by filing a Form 8868, Application for Extension of Time to File an Exempt Organization Return [ [link removed] ]. In situations where tax is due, extending the time for filing a return does not extend the time for paying tax.

*Online workshops*

The IRS provides online workshops [ [link removed] ]_ _to help tax-exempt organizations comply with filing requirements. These workshops are designed to help organizational leadership understand the benefits, limitations and expectations of exempt organizations.
