How to Work with Form 990 in QuickBooks for Nonprofits
Published 11/14/2009 | 
Don’t forget that much of the information required on the 990 isn’t financial information contained in QuickBooks. Because of this, I usually recommend using QuickBooks reports instead of worrying having a direct import into the 990. If you’re using QuickBooks for Nonprofits, there’s a Statement of Functional Expenses (990). If not, you can use a Profit & Loss by Class report.
No matter what you decide, it’s critical that your classes are setup correctly to mimic the 990 information – at the very least you’ll need these three:
G&A
Fundraising
Programs
And if you have any temporarily or permanently restricted funds, these six:
Unrestricted:
G&A
Fundraising
Programs
Temporarily restricted
Permanently restricted
You can add additional sub-classes if you want to track particular programs, restricted funds, grants, etc.
