We can support your non-profit organization with start-up and maintain your tax-exempt status by managing all IRS reports for you.
The IRS requires most tax-exempt organizations to annually submit the Federal Form 990 and attachments, which includes the following items.

1. Income Statement with very specific revenue and expense categories like donations, salaries, postage, rent…

2. Balance Sheet with specific categories like cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable…

3. Functional Expense Statement with all the expenses allocated to either program services, fundraising, or operations.

4. Individual Program Expense Statement that accounts of all of the costs of each program, service type seminars or educational mailings.

5. Revenue Support Schedules that itemize the organization’s income sources in specific groups such as charitable donations, membership fees or investment revenue.

The IRS uses these detailed revenue and expense reports to determine if your organization may maintain its tax-exempt status. Therefore, it’s imperative to structure your accounting system around these revenue and expense guidelines.
