The IRS website is one of the most comprehensive sources for nonprofit tax returns. The Tax Exempt Organization Search is an IRS 501(c)(3) search tool where you can search by nonprofit tax ID, name, or location to find: Form 990 series returns.
Each Form 990 must be made available for public inspection for at least a three- year period, beginning with the due date for the annual return (including filing extensions) and ending with the third anniversary of the due date. The Form 1023/1024 must be made available for public inspection permanently.
The 990 is a public document that you can search for on the websites for the Secretary of State or the Attorney General where the organization is incorporated. In addition, 990s are available from a variety of open source and subscription sources. You may also request them from an organization or from the IRS.
An exempt organization must make available for public inspection its annual information return (e.g., Form 990, Form 990-EZ). Returns must be available for a three-year period beginning with the due date of the return (including any extension of time for filing) or, if later, the date it is actually filed.
What are the public disclosure requirements? In general, under public disclosure laws, charities must provide any Form 990 (or 990-PF)—and now, Form 990-T—filed within the past three years to individuals requesting such information if the request is made either in person or in writing.
Exempt organizations must allow for public inspection and copying of their exemption applications, determination letters, and annual returns. The IRS also makes these documents available for public inspection and copying.
Tax-exempt organizations, nonexempt charitable trusts, and section 527 political organizations file Form 990 to provide the IRS with the information required by section 6033.
The list of states requiring Form 990 (or information from the return) for the specific purpose of charitable solicitation registration and reporting is as follows: Alabama. Alaska Arkansas. California. Colorado Connecticut. Florida. Georgia.
