Annual filing IRS form 990-N
The form is due annually on May 15
We’ve been filing the 990-N “postcard” form for many years. It is for tax-exempt organizations making under $50,000.00 per year.
IRS makes changes to their website frequently. In 2025, Cielle used this link to find instructions for filing 990-N.

Review the IRS Form 990-N Electronic Filing System (e-Postcard) User Guide PDF for step-by-step instructions on how to submit electronic Form 990-N (e-Postcard). Most common problems can be avoided by following the User Guide.
Sign in via “Verify ID Me.” FYI: In 2025, Cielle could not get Login.gov to work.
If someone other than Cielle files the 990-N electronically, they will have to set up their own ID Me account. FYI: There are many steps to set up a Verify Me account.
