Common questions

Which Form 990 do we file?

Generally, organizations with gross receipts normally $50,000 or less can file the 990-N; those with gross receipts under $200,000 and total assets under $500,000 can file the 990-EZ; others file the full 990. HookBooks works out which applies from your books and maps your accounts to the form's lines.

Is HookBooks fund accounting software?
