In time for Christmas: Final New 990 Form and Instructions

The IRS has posted the final version of the revised Form 990. Included are instructions for the 990, 990-EZ and the many schedules that accompany the Form 990 and 990-EZ.

Also very helpful, the Service has posted a Filing Phase-In table. Many smaller organizations will not have to file the New 990, but rather may file the 990-EZ or even the 990-N, the "e-postcard" filing.
