How to Get a 990-EZ Fillable PDF
If you are responsible for tax returns in your nonprofit or tax-exempt organization, you need to deal with the non-profit tax form 990-EZ. This form is to be filed once a year, and, unlike other forms, it can be made public. Given that it doesn’t necessarily remain between your organization and the IRS, it deserves more attention than similar forms for commercial organizations or self-employed individuals.
