Check your 990-N filing status

Enter your EIN to see what the IRS public record shows: the most recent tax year on file, whether any years look missed, whether tax-exempt status was revoked, and your next deadline.

Where this comes from

IRS public data: the exempt-organization Business Master File, the Form 990-N (e-Postcard) filings and the automatic revocation list, which the IRS publishes for anyone to download. We refresh our copy regularly, and the IRS's own data can lag by several months, so a return filed recently may not show yet. For the IRS's own view, search Tax Exempt Organization Search.

We don't save the EINs you look up, and this isn't advice about your organization. It reads a public record.

What the results mean

• Up to date: the record shows a return for the most recent year that's due.
• One year missing: possibly just lag. If it isn't filed, file it; a late e-Postcard has no penalty.
• Two or more years missing: a third missed year in a row ends tax-exempt status automatically. See your deadline.
• Three years missing: if the record is right, exemption already ended on the third due date, even before the IRS publishes it. See reinstatement.
• Revoked: filing a return doesn't undo it. See reinstatement.
• Can't count: common for chapters covered by a parent organization's group return.
