What Is a Nonprofit Tax Return?
Even though nonprofit organizations are exempt from federal income tax on revenue related to their mission, they are still required to file an annual informational tax return with the IRS. This return, typically a Form 990 (or one of its variations), isn't about paying taxes, but about proving to the government and the public that your organization is operating correctly.
Filing this return plays a critical role in:
- Maintaining your tax-exempt status with the IRS.
- Providing financial transparency to donors and the public.
- Reporting on your mission, activities, and governance.
- Avoiding penalties and automatic revocation of your tax-exempt status.
Our experienced professionals provide accurate and transparent filings that help your organization operate with integrity.
Why Your Nonprofit Needs Professional Tax Return Services?
Failure to file a proper return can lead to:
- Substantial IRS penalties or fines.
- Loss of tax-exempt status if you fail to file for three consecutive years.
- Damage to your reputation and loss of donor trust.
- Unnecessary time and resources spent on complex filings & potential audits.
A Virtue CPAs tax return ensures:
- Accurate and timely filings that meet all IRS requirements.
- Well-documented information to withstand audits.
- Clear and concise reporting that promotes public confidence.

The Unique Challenges of Nonprofit Tax Filings
Nonprofit tax returns are different from business or individual returns because they require:
Specialized IRS Form 990 Expertise
In-depth knowledge of the IRS Form 990 series and its schedules, ensuring accurate and compliant filings.
UBIT Compliance
Proper understanding and reporting of Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT), which applies to certain nonprofit activities outside the core mission.
Rigorous Documentation Standards
Detailed reporting of program services, fundraising expenses, and governance policies to meet compliance requirements.
Executive Compensation Reporting
Accurate disclosure of compensation for key employees and officers, following IRS transparency rules.
Public Transparency Requirements
Nonprofit tax returns (Form 990) are public documents, requiring clear, defensible reporting accessible to donors and regulators.
Audit-Ready Accuracy
Preparation of precise, defensible filings that withstand scrutiny from the IRS, state authorities, and the public.
The Importance of a Precise Filing
An accurate tax return safeguards your nonprofit by:
Securing your tax-exempt status, the backbone of your nonprofit’s success.
Minimizing the risk of audits and penalties.
Building trust with donors by providing a clear picture of your finances.
Allowing you to focus on your mission, not on paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1What is a Form 990?
It's the annual informational tax return that most tax-exempt organizations must file with the IRS.
2Does my nonprofit need to file a tax return if it has no income?
Yes, most nonprofits must file an annual return, even if they have little to no income. Small organizations may only need to file a simple e-postcard (Form 990-N).
3What is the deadline for filing Form 990?
The deadline is the 15th day of the fifth month after your organization's fiscal year ends. For organizations with a December 31 fiscal year end, the deadline is May 15.
4What is Unrelated Business Income (UBI)?
It's income a nonprofit earns from a trade or business that is not related to its tax-exempt purpose. This type of income is generally subject to federal income tax.

Yes. The IRS can automatically revoke your tax-exempt status if you fail to file a Form 990 for three consecutive years.
