Religious organizations and many affiliated organizations are not required to file an information return with the IRS per Internal Revenue Code unless they meet specific guidelines. You can check your IRS Determination Letter to see if your organization is required to file a Form 990-series return or not.
Some organizations with limited amounts of receipts ($200k) and assets ($500k) can file the simpler Form 990-EZ. These threshholds change from time-to-time so check out www.irs.gov or give us a call to find out if this is you.
If the organization is required to file, but normally receives less than $50,000 in gross receipts can file the ultra-simple Form 990-N "postcard" with the IRS.
If you don't know where your organization falls or need help give us a call at LCI Taxes. 386-586-3976
