Nonprofit CPA FAQs
Answers to common questions from boards, executive directors, and finance teams.
What is Form 990 and who must file it?
Form 990 is the annual information return that most tax-exempt organizations file with the IRS. It reports financial information, governance, programs, and compliance details. Most 501(c)(3) organizations with gross receipts over $50,000 must file Form 990 or 990-EZ. Smaller organizations file Form 990-N. Failure to file for three consecutive years results in automatic revocation of tax-exempt status.
When does a nonprofit need an audit?
A nonprofit typically needs an audit when required by state law (thresholds vary by state and revenue), federal grant requirements (Uniform Guidance applies at $750,000 in federal awards), funder or major donor requirements, or board policy. Some nonprofits also pursue voluntary audits to strengthen credibility with donors and regulators.
What is fund accounting and how is it different from regular accounting?
Fund accounting tracks resources by restriction and purpose rather than focusing on profit. Restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted funds must be reported separately. This approach is essential for grant compliance, donor stewardship, and accurate reporting to boards, funders, and regulators.
How do nonprofits maintain 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status?
Maintaining 501(c)(3) status requires operating within your exempt purpose, filing Form 990 annually, limiting lobbying and political activity, paying Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) when applicable, and maintaining proper documentation of activities, finances, and governance.
What is UBIT and when does it apply?
Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) applies when a nonprofit generates regular income from activities not substantially related to its exempt purpose. Common examples include certain advertising revenue, rental income with services, and commercial activities outside the mission. UBIT is reported on Form 990-T.
What is a single audit and which nonprofits need one?
A single audit, under federal Uniform Guidance (formerly OMB A-133), is required for any nonprofit that expends $750,000 or more in federal awards during a fiscal year. It includes a financial statement audit plus a compliance audit of federal program requirements, internal controls, and grant management.
