990EZ Worksheet

Access this report using Reports>990 Worksheet. It is only available if the organization's functional currency is USD (US Dollar).

Use this report to collect amounts to transfer to the IRS Form 990EZ. This report consists of 990 or 990EZ line number codes, function columns, line numbers, part numbers, account numbers, amounts, and ending balances. The report name and available columns are based on your IRS Tax Form Preference Form 990 version (Form 990EZ) selection by the Administrator on the Organization>Organization Information form.

This report does not replicate the actual IRS Form 990 or Form 990EZ. However, it does provide a simple listing of the line numbers and the amounts. When account codes are selected, a detailed report prints, including account totals. The current year amounts are separated by each account code and totaled for each 990 line number and column, where applicable.

You must have previously assigned a Form 990 Line Number to each account using the Maintain>Chart of Accounts Codes form. Otherwise, the report will not balance.
