Board discussion: The board reviews critical sections of the draft, often with the tax preparer present to answer questions. Governance: Board members ensure the information about governance policies, directors, and officers is accurate. Financials: They review the financial data for reasonableness and ensure the allocation of expenses between programs, management, and fundraising is appropriate. Compensation: Board members examine executive compensation to confirm it is justified and documented. Narrative: They review the narrative sections to ensure the organization's mission and accomplishments are communicated effectively to the public. Required action: In Part VI of the form, organizations must state whether a copy was provided to all board members and describe the review process on Schedule O. Finalization and approval: Revisions: Any changes identified by the board are incorporated into the draft.

Filing: The Form 990 is electronically filed with the IRS before the deadline (the 15th day of the fifth month after the organization's fiscal year ends).”
