Our services are designed for nonprofit organizations with annual gross receipts under $100,000.
Most small tax-exempt organizations with annual gross receipts normally $50,000 or less may qualify to file Form 990-N, also known as the IRS e-Postcard. Eligibility depends on the organization’s annual revenue and tax-exempt status.
Most nonprofits must file their annual IRS return by the 15th day of the 5th month after the end of their fiscal year. For organizations using a calendar year, the deadline is typically May 15.
Many churches are generally exempt from filing Form 990 annual returns with the IRS. However, some religious organizations or church-related nonprofits may still have filing requirements depending on their structure and activities.
Filing costs vary based on the organization’s filing requirements and annual financial activity. Simple 990 Filing offers Form 990-N filing support starting at $399 and Form 990-EZ filing support starting at $699 for eligible nonprofits with under $100,000 in annual gross receipts.

You can get started by selecting a package on the Pricing page and completing the checkout form with your nonprofit information.
No. Our standard filing packages currently support nonprofits with only one business bank account. Organizations with multiple accounts, credit cards, or more complex bookkeeping may require custom pricing.
To complete your filing support, we require:
No. We do not use monthly PDF bank statements for standard filing preparation.
Instead, we require:
This helps simplify bookkeeping review and speeds up the filing process.
A CSV file is a spreadsheet-style export from your bank account that contains your transaction history, including:
Most banks allow you to download this directly from online banking.
For standard packages, no. We require a properly exported CSV transaction file to process bookkeeping review and annual filing support efficiently.
If additional cleanup or reconciliation work is required beyond the standard package scope, we may recommend additional bookkeeping services or custom pricing before filing can be completed.
After checkout, you will receive instructions to submit your nonprofit information and required documents. Our team will review your filing details and follow up if additional information is needed.
Filing time depends on the organization’s filing type and how quickly documents are submitted. If your CSV transaction file is clear, organized, and transactions can be properly reviewed and reconciled, most filings are typically completed within 5 business days.
Form 990-N filings are generally completed faster than Form 990-EZ filings.
Even if your nonprofit had little or no activity during the year, annual IRS filing requirements may still apply. Eligible organizations may still need to file Form 990-N or another required annual return to maintain compliance.
Simple 990 Filing provides affordable annual filing support for eligible nonprofits filing Form 990-N and Form 990-EZ returns.
