How to run Form 990 and CHAR 500 reports

HelpOne can produce the figures you need for IRS Form 990 and New York Form CHAR 500 from the records you already keep: donations, expenses, restricted funds, and volunteer hours.


## Steps

- Go to Reports & Insights (or Finances, then Reports).

- Open Form 990 or Form CHAR 500.

- Set the fiscal year.

- Review the totals. Drill into a line if a number looks off.

- Export or download the report for your accountant or filing.


These reports are only as good as the underlying data. Before year-end, review donations, restricted funds, expenses, and volunteer hours.


Tip: Run a mid-year 990 preview so surprises show up in July, not in filing season.
