Indiana Form NP-20R, Not-For-Profit Organization’s Report
Indiana not-for-profits are required to file Form NP-20R every five years.
The due dates for initial forms are staggered over four years based on the last two digits of your federal identification number (FEIN).
The following due dates apply:
- May 15, 2029 for FEINs ending in 00-24 (or if the organization does not have an FEIN) (first report was due May 15, 2024)
- May 15, 2030 for FEINs ending in 25-49 (first report was due May 15, 2025)
- May 15, 2026 for FEINs ending in 50-74
- May 15, 2027 for FEINs ending in 75-99
Your organization’s year-end does not impact your due date to file this report. Once you file the initial form, you do not file again for five years.
Form NP-20R must be filed by the not-for-profit through its account on Indiana’s INTIME system.
Form NP-20R replaced Form NP-20, which was filed annually in conjunction with the federal information return (Form 990, 990EZ, 990-PF or 990-N). 2021 reports filed in 2022 are the last report year for the old Form NP-20.
How to File New Form NP-20R
A copy of your organization’s most recently completed Form 990 must be uploaded when you submit Form NP-20R through INTIME.
For example, if your organization has a December 31st year-end and is required to file by May 15th, 2026, upload a copy of your 12/31/25 Form 990. If your 12/31/25 990 is not yet complete, you may upload a copy of the 12/31/24 990. If your organization has a June 30th year-end and is required to file by May 15th 2026, you will upload a copy of your 6/30/25 federal tax filing (if completed), otherwise upload 6/30/24. Once you file in 2026, your next NP-20R filing will then be due 5/15/31.
Rest assured, the filing is very simple and should only take a few minutes. Questions include the number of years in existence, the organization’s mission, and officer names and titles- similar to reporting on the previously filed NP-20.
Indiana Organizations that File Form 990-T
If your organization has unrelated business income in Indiana, you must still file Form IT-20NP annually. The due date remains unchanged and corresponds to the Federal Form 990.
