The Elusive 990 Form- How to find the form
The Elusive 990 Form
The form 990 is an integral form for a nonprofit to have but it sometimes proves less than easy to locate. With the IRS website being as vast as it is, locating it quickly can prove frustrating. If you go to this page: http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/ , on the left side of the page they list the Most Requested Forms and Publications. After number five, click on “More Forms and Publications” and then, in the middle section of the next page, click on “Form and Instruction Number”.
Scroll down until you find a box that that you can scroll in and the form 990 will be in there. Simply click on Review Selected Files, make sure you can view PDF’s, and the search for the 990 form will be over.
