NCCS ‘Core’ Data Catalog




Files are organized as follows:

Tax Exempt Type (tscope)

IRS 990 Form Scope (fscope)

Nonprofits can file Form 990, 990EZ, 990PF, or 990N.

Private foundations must file Form 990PF. Small nonprofits can file form 990EZ, which is a shorter version of the full form. Organizations with more than $250k in revenues must file full Form 990.

Very small nonprofits (revenues less than $50k annually) can file Form 990N (the postcard form). Since they disclose no finances or organizational activities form 990N filers are not included in the Core Data Series.

Form scope describes which types of filers are included in each data set:

Note that scope PZ datasets include a large number of organizations but a smaller number of variables since Form 990EZ has a more limited set of disclosures.

Year

Files for form scopes PZ and PC are organized by tax year. While PF files are organized by filing year See the Research Handbook for details on the differences.
