Backlog in IRS 990s due to pandemic

As grant writers, an important part of our grant prospect research often includes reviewing an organization’s 990. Lately, finding current 990s has been more difficult because the pandemic has had a negative impact on the entire process.

Staff shortages, IRS backlogs and requests from nonprofits for filing extensions are some of the reasons there are now time lags of up to three years before the most recent 990s are posted. Read this article on Candid to learn more about the problem and how Candid is addressing it.

The problem has not gone unnoticed. IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig is hoping to push forward to clear up some of the backlog by the end of 2022. Learn more about that here.
