990 E-file: E-filing Returns

Not all returns qualify for e-file. The 990 e-file application generates appropriate diagnostics when it encounters a return that does not qualify for e-file and rejects the non-qualifying return.

Steps to E-file Returns

1. Prepare the return.
2. Enable e-file.
3. Select electronic signature options.
4. Review attachments, including attaching Form 8453-EO when PIN/Form 8879-EO is not used.
5. Enter additional information.
6. Review e-file diagnostics.
7. Create an e-file for the return.
8. Send qualified returns to the IRS.
9. Verify acknowledgment of receipt by the IRS.
10. View rejection notices.
