When is your 990 due?
The 15th day of the 5th month after your fiscal year ends, moved to the next business day if it falls on a weekend.
- Most recent completed fiscal year
- January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 (tax year 2025)
- Form 990-N / 990-EZ due
- May 15, 2026
- With a Form 8868 extension (990-EZ only)
- November 16, 2026
Form 990-N cannot be extended, but there is no penalty for filing it late. The risk is the three-year automatic revocation rule.
