IRS Sets 2004 Goals for E Filing Form 990, Seeks Comments on 990 EZ

The Internal Revenue Service expects to develop an electronic filing system for nonprofits to file Form 990, the annual information return required of most groups. Terry Lutes, director of the IRS's Electronic Tax administration, told participants in a July 9 web audio broadcast sponsored by the IRS that he is working with software developers to develop better e filing systems.

The IRS has also published a notice asking for public comments on whether changes should be made to Form 990 EZ. The IRS is interested in hearing whether the information collected is necessary to achieve its oversight purposes, the accuracy of their estimate of the burden of completing the form, ways to enhance the quality and utility of the information collected and reduce the burden on nonprofits. Comments are due September 6th, and should be sent to Glenn Kirkland, IRS, Room 6411, 1111 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20224.
