Choose the way you prepare your Form!
Preparing a 990 return can be time-consuming. To simplify this process, Tax990 offers two different filing methods – Form-based filing and Interview-based filing. You can choose the method you prefer and prepare your 990 form easily and accurately.
Form-Based Filling Method
- This method allows you to enter the necessary information directly on the respective fields of your 990 form.
- Based on the data you enter, our system will automatically include the necessary Schedules.
- If you are a CPA or previously used to file 990 on paper, this method is recommended for you!
Interview-Based Filling Method
- Instead of entering data directly in the form, you can use this method to answer a series of questions and let our system generate your 990 forms based on that.
- The Schedules that are necessary will be automatically included based
on your answers. - This method is recommended for first-time 990 filers!
