Many nonprofits hire tax preparers/accountants to prepare the organization's Form 990. You may be able to find a qualified accountant through your state association of nonprofits.
For instance, a California public benefit corporation that is not exempt from tax under federal law must nonetheless file with the Attorney General an IRS Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990PF, as applicable, if either its annual gross revenue or its gross assets, at all times during its fiscal year, are $50,000 or more.
