legislation enacted after the schedule and
its instructions were published, go to
www.irs.gov/form990.

Purpose of Schedule
An organization should use Schedule O
(Form 990 or 990-EZ), rather than separate
attachments, to provide the IRS with
narrative information required for
responses to specific questions on Form
990 or 990-EZ, and to explain the
organization’s operations or responses to
various questions. It allows organizations
to supplement information reported on
Form 990 or 990-EZ.
Do not use Schedule O to supplement
responses to questions in other schedules of
the Form 990 or 990-EZ. Each of the other
schedules includes a separate part for
supplemental information.

minimum, the schedule must be used to
answer Form 990, Part VI, lines 11b and 19. If
an organization is not required to file Form 990
or 990-EZ but chooses to do so, it must file a
complete return and provide all of the
information requested, including the required
schedules.

Specific Instructions
Use as many continuation sheets of
Schedule O (Form 990 or 990-EZ) as
needed.
Complete the required information on
the appropriate line of Form 990 or 990-EZ
prior to using Schedule O (Form 990 or
990-EZ).
Identify clearly the specific part and
line(s) of Form 990 or 990-EZ to which
each response relates. Follow the part and
line sequence of Form 990 or 990-EZ.
Late return. If the return is not filed by
the due date (including any extension
granted), attach a separate statement
giving the reasons for not filing on time. Do
not use this schedule to provide the latefiling statement.
Amended return. If the organization
checked the Amended return box on Form
990, Heading, item B, or Form 990-EZ,
Heading, item B, use Schedule O (Form
990 or 990-EZ) to list each part or schedule
and line item of the Form 990 or 990-EZ
that was amended.
Group return. If the organization
