What should a tax-exempt organization do to ensure it is ready for filing its return electronically? That depends on whether the tax-exempt organization will use a tax professional to prepare its electronic return or the tax-exempt organization plans to prepare its own return. A tax-exempt organization that plans to use a tax professional to prepare its electronic return should check whether the professional is an IRS Authorized e-file Provider. A tax-exempt organization that plans to prepare its own return should discuss electronic filing options with its software vendor as soon as possible and take steps to register and apply for electronic filing.
