Use the table below to find the due date of annual returns (Forms 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF, or 990-BL) that a tax-exempt organization must file. To use the table, you must know when your organization’s tax year ends.

The table above does not reflect the additional day. Instead of filing an annual return, certain small organizations may file an annual electronic notice, the Form 990-N (e-Postcard). The due date for Form 990-N is the “initial return due date,” above. Extended due dates do not apply.
