GuideStar and the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) are teaming up to support e-filing of Form 990, the annual information tax return for nonprofit organizations. NCCS has developed a free IRS-approved system to prepare and electronically file Forms 990, 990-EZ, and 8868 (Request for Extension). GuideStar is helping to spread the word about the benefits of e-filing.

Form 990 Online makes it easy for an organization to complete its 990 or 990-EZ. Form 990 Online:

• calculates totals,
• includes nearly 50 standard attachments, and
• verifies the accuracy of the return.

Other features include:

• user-friendly screens with checks on arithmetic and choices from drop-down menus;
• easy links to IRS instructions and tips from nonprofit tax experts for each line of the form; and
• the ability to import spreadsheets.

Form 990 Online also includes IRS Form 8868, Request for Extension.
