IRS Error Code F990EZ-021-01

What does it mean:

The organization described under Section 501(c)(7) must not have provided information on the Initiation fees and capital contributions. In this case, the IRS would have rejected the return.

Resolution:

If your organization is described under Section 501(c)(7), it must provide information on the Initiation fees and capital contributions.

Here's how to report Initiation fees and capital contributions

1. Log in to your Tax 990 account.
2. Identify the rejected return either from the Dashboard or Forms History.
3. To identify it from the Dashboard, keep a note of the Return ID of the rejected return that you find in the rejection email. 
4. To identify it from the Forms History page, click the Tax Returns on the menu, and you'll land in the Forms History page, where you'll find the rejected return listed. 
5. In both options, you need to click on the Rejected by the IRS button found against the rejected return to find the list of errors. Then, click the Fix Me button against the error code F990EZ-021-01.
6. Based on the filing type you have chosen, you will be navigated to the corresponding page.
   • Interview-based filing - You'll be directed to the Other Information page. Here enter the value in the Initial fees and capital contributions field. 
   • Form-based filing - You'll be directed to Part V, Line 39a of Form 990-EZ. In this line, enter the Initiation fees and capital contributions.
7. Review the details, and click the Transmit button to re-transmit your return to the IRS at no additional cost.

We'll keep you informed on the status of the return once we hear back from the IRS.
