Ensuring Compliance with IRS 990 Forms. We Handle the Details.

The Importance of 990 Tax Forms

Filing the correct 990 tax form is crucial to maintaining your nonprofit’s tax-exempt status. The required form depends on your nonprofit’s size and revenue:

  • Form 990-N is for smaller nonprofits with gross receipts under $50,000.
  • Form 990-EZ is for mid-sized organizations with revenue between $50,000 and $200,000.
  • Form 990 is for larger organizations with revenue over $200,000.
  • Form 990-PF is required for private foundations.

At L.V. Browne, CPA, we help determine the right form for your nonprofit and ensure timely, accurate, and compliant filing.

Mrs. Browne was able to answer all of my questions and put any doubts I had about filing my taxes for the first time out the door! So much better then your common advertised tax place you see on tv. I was able to get more in tax returns with Mrs. Browne then I would have on my own (I would’ve ended up short changing myself and forget to file an important document for the return). The whole experience overall was very enlightening and she was so nice, even when I asked what might have been stupid questions. I am definitely going back next year and referring my coworkers and friends in the DFW area to go to Mrs. Browne for their tax returns!
