Tax-exempt organizations are held to an extremely high standard. They can expect donors, the government, the media, and the public to scrutinize their operations. Although nonprofits usually don’t pay taxes, they do prepare an annual informational return (Federal Form 990) to showcase how they use their funds to fulfill their mission.
