Free, and it is about every 990

What a funder sees in ninety seconds

Your Form 990 is published the day the IRS processes it. A program officer deciding whether to take your call is unlikely to read all of it. Here are the areas funders and other readers commonly check, where on the return each one lives, and what your board should be able to say about it.

Where should we send it?

The guide comes back on the next screen and in your inbox, in a form you can forward to your board. Add your EIN and we will look up your published return and fill in your own figures beside each question.

Email me the guide, and 7 short letters about reading a 990, one every 4 days. Every one has a link that stops them, and R.S. McDuffie CPA & Associates may follow up about my organization's return.

Everything in the guide is about the public record, and nothing we show you is a secret. What the form is for is that a person at R.S. McDuffie CPA & Associates can follow up, rather than an address. We do not sell or share what you type here, and the letters stop the moment you say so.

Nothing to upload

It is a guide to the questions, not a reading of your file. Useful before a first return is filed.

We show the checks and where they live on the return. A grade from a stranger's website would tell you nothing.
