IRS Error Code [F990PF-905-01]:
Rejection Message:
The organization has not been established as a private foundation with the IRS. Only private foundations can file Form 990-PF.
What does it mean:
The organization must establish itself as a private foundation to file a 990-PF return. Two possibilities would have led to the rejection of the form. The organization might have filed Form 1023 seeking exemption status and wouldn't have heard back from the IRS. Or, the organization wouldn't have filed Form 1023 at all.
Resolution:
If you have filed your Form 1023 application with IRS, you need to wait until the IRS grants exempt status to the organization before filing Form 990-PF. or, you can paper file the form by checking the box "exemption application is pending" and mail to the address mentioned below
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service Center
Ogden, UT 84201-0027
In case the foundation’s principal office is located in a foreign country or U.S. possession, mail your Form 990-PF to the following address:
