990-N Electronic Notice (e-Postcard)

1. This is the first screen of the e-Postcard.  Based on the organization’s EIN, the system will populate the tax year, legal name and EIN of the organization.  These fields cannot be changed.  Using the drop-down menu, the organization answers “yes” or “no” to the questions under “B” and then clicks on “Next Page.”

   Additional Information:

• •If the organization answers “yes” to the termination question, a warning message will pop-up that is designed to insure that the organization has terminated (see Warning and Error Messages later).  If the organization has terminated, it still completes the e-Postcard.  

• •If the organization answers “no” to the gross receipts questions, an error message will pop-up stating that the organization must file Form 990 or 990-EZ because its gross receipts are more than $25,000.  The filer will not be allowed to complete the e-Postcard. 

• •If the filer needs more information about a particular field, he/she clicks on the question mark icon next to the field (see Examples of Help Screens later). 

 

1. This screen and the following one are the second part of the e-Postcard.  Here the organization provides their current mailing address, a website address if they have one, and the name and address of a principal officer.  They can also indicate any other names they use.

 

1. After the filer completes this page, he/she should click on “Submit Filing to IRS.”
