A tax-exempt organization must file an annual information return or notice with the IRS unless an exception applies. The Lane Agricultural Fair Association is required to file IRS Form 990 - Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax annually.
Form 990 is the IRS' primary tool for gathering information about tax-exempt organizations, educating organizations about tax law requirements, and promoting compliance. Organizations also use the Form 990 to share information with the public about their programs. Additionally, most states rely on the Form 990 to perform charitable and other regulatory oversight and to satisfy state income tax filing requirements for organizations claiming exemption from state income tax.
