What should I do if I accidentally file the wrong form?
Mistakes happen, and the IRS allows you to correct them. If you’ve submitted the wrong version of Form 990:
- File the correct form as soon as possible for the same tax year.
- If the form you filed can be amended (like Form 990-EZ or 990-PF), you can submit an amended return to correct the error.
- It’s helpful to include a brief explanation letter outlining what happened and how you're correcting it.
Acting quickly and clearly can prevent issues and preserve your organization’s good standing with the IRS.
