Form 990 Is Focus of New Web Site

October 7, 1999 | Read Time: 1 minute

Information on efforts to improve the accuracy of financial data that charities report to the Internal Revenue Service is available on a new Web site.

The Quality 990 site features information on the Form 990 — the informational tax return that charities with annual revenues of more than $25,000 are required to file with the I.R.S. — and on projects that educate charities about the form’s importance.

The site also provides articles on charity disclosure rules and links to other Web sites of interest.

The Quality 990 site is operated by the National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute’s Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy, in Washington, in cooperation with Independent Sector and the National Council of Nonprofit Associations, both in Washington, and the National Society of Fund Raising Executives, in Alexandria, Va.
