Revised Form 990: A Line-by-Line Preparation Guide
A line-by-line preparation guide to the completely new and revised Form 990 for nonprofit organizations.
This workbook walks readers through the process of completing the complex and significantly revised Form 990 due for the 2008
tax year. Jody Blazek demystifies the process for financial professionals and nonprofessionals alike who are held accountable for
the content of these forms. She provides guidance for responding to the many new questions, considering adoption governance
policies and procedures suggested as appropriate by the IRS, and reforming data-gathering systems to capture requested
information on the form. This book is an essential guide for every 990 filer, filled with instructions and comments about
each part of the new form and schedules.
