Keep Your Mission Moving Without Filing Stress

Elite Tax Solutions provides non-profit tax services and compliance support for community organizations throughout Augusta.

Your non-profit operates in Augusta with a mission that serves real people, and that mission depends on staying compliant with federal and state filing requirements that change regularly. Whether you run a food bank, youth program, or advocacy group, maintaining your tax-exempt status means filing the right forms on time with accurate financial data, and mistakes or late submissions can put your standing at risk.

Elite Tax Solutions works with non-profit organizations and mission-driven entities across the CSRA to manage compliance filings, financial reporting, and documentation that satisfies IRS and state requirements. You receive support with Form 990 preparation, state charitable registrations, and coordination between your bookkeeping records and the filings that auditors or board members review. Licensed expertise means your filings reflect current rules and your organization maintains accountability without pulling staff away from program work.

If your non-profit in Augusta needs a compliance review or help preparing for an upcoming filing deadline, reach out to schedule a consultation.

Filing requirements vary by revenue and structure

When you work with Elite Tax Solutions in Augusta, the process begins with reviewing your organization's revenue, activity type, and prior filings to determine which forms apply and what supporting schedules you need to complete. You provide access to your financial records, donor reports, and program expense summaries, and those documents are organized into the format required by the IRS and state agencies.

After your filings are submitted, you receive copies for your records along with a summary of what was reported and when your next deadline falls. Your board has documentation to review during meetings, and your organization stays in good standing with regulators and funders who require proof of compliance.

The service includes preparation of annual information returns, coordination with your treasurer or bookkeeper, and guidance on reporting changes such as new programs or large donations. It does not include lobbying disclosures or legal opinions on exempt status, but it does ensure that routine compliance filings are accurate and submitted on time so your team can focus on the work your community depends on.

Non-profit leaders often ask about filing thresholds, timelines, and what happens if records are incomplete, so here are answers to the questions that come up most often during initial consultations.

You probably have a question or two

You may face penalties or lose your tax-exempt status depending on how long the filing is overdue. Elite Tax Solutions can help you file late returns, request penalty abatement, and work through reinstatement procedures if needed.
What happens if our non-profit missed a filing deadline?
The version depends on your gross receipts and total assets. Organizations under certain thresholds may qualify for the shorter 990-N postcard or 990-EZ, while larger groups file the full Form 990 with additional schedules.
How do we know which version of Form 990 to file?
You should start at least two months before your deadline to allow time for gathering documentation, reviewing financials, and addressing any discrepancies. Starting early prevents rushed filings and reduces the chance of errors.
When should we start preparing our annual filing?
You need a complete general ledger, bank statements, donation records, payroll summaries, and documentation for any restricted funds or grants. Clear records make the filing process faster and more accurate.
What financial records do we need to provide?
Filing requirements are detailed and mistakes can trigger audits or jeopardize your exempt status. Licensed preparation ensures compliance, protects your organization, and gives your board confidence in the accuracy of public disclosures.
Why does our non-profit need professional help with tax filings?

Non-profits in Augusta depend on accurate filings to maintain credibility with donors, meet grant requirements, and focus resources on their mission rather than regulatory concerns. Contact Elite Tax Solutions to schedule a compliance review and ensure your next filing is handled correctly.
