Questions

Nonprofit Tax Services FAQ

What is Form 990 and who must file it?

Form 990 is the annual informational return required by the IRS for tax-exempt organizations. Most 501(c)(3) organizations must file Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-N depending on gross receipts and total assets. Failure to file for three consecutive years results in automatic revocation of tax-exempt status.

What is Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT)?

UBIT applies when a nonprofit earns income from a trade or business that is regularly carried on and not substantially related to its exempt purpose, such as advertising revenue or rental income from debt-financed property. We analyze your revenue streams to identify and properly report any UBIT exposure.

Do you handle state charitable registration?

Yes. Most states require nonprofits soliciting donations to register and renew annually. We manage registrations and renewals in every state where your organization operates or solicits contributions.

How is your pricing structured?

We offer flat-rate pricing for all nonprofit services. You receive a clear, upfront fee for Form 990 preparation, state filings, and ongoing advisory, with no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.

Can you help if our exempt status has been revoked?

Yes. We assist organizations with IRS reinstatement applications, including preparation of Form 1023 or 1024 and all supporting documentation required to restore tax-exempt status.
