The Great 990 Hunt, Part 2

You can also find 990s on the IRS website where they have been available since the requirement for public availability came about a few years back. Once the submissions have been accepted and processed by the IRS they become available here: https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/

Much better than relying on Guidestar, which as you note, is often not up-to-date and has incomplete information.

Thanks. I agree that the IRS website is better than Guidestar, but they don’t always have all three years back. The best source that I have found for 990 searches is Candid.org, which is run through the Foundation Center. It’s free and doesn’t cut you off after a certain number of searches, like Guidestar does.

Yes, report them. I did- it’s easy and fun, and provides job security to our IRS investigative department. Also anonymous, if you check the box saying you ‘fear retaliation or retribution’.

I didn’t mention the IRS are the ones I actually fear.

Here’s the link for the form, that can then be submitted electronically: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f13909.pdf

It’s so interesting, reading the facts: total budget. Highest salary. The compliant ones are probably glad that someone noticed them doing the right thing.
