Tax Obligations All nonprofit organizations are required to file an annual tax return (generally, IRS Form 990) even when no taxes are due. A nonprofit organization should consult with an attorney and/or tax adviser about its tax obligations.
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.
