Tax990 expands its state filing capabilities with the addition of California Form 109, giving nonprofits a streamlined way to meet their state income tax obligations alongside their federal filings.
ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESS Newswire / April 6, 2026 / Tax990, a leading provider of nonprofit tax filing solutions, announced today that it is now accepting California Form 109 filings, further expanding its comprehensive suite of e-filing solutions for tax-exempt organizations. California nonprofits, accountants, and tax professionals can now prepare and file Form 109 directly through the Tax990 platform.
What Is California Form 109?
California Form 109 - the Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return - is required by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for tax-exempt organizations that generated $1,000 or more of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) during the tax year. While most nonprofits operate free from income taxes due to their tax-exempt status, those that earn income from activities unrelated to their core mission may be subject to both federal and state-level income tax reporting requirements.
For California-based nonprofits, this means filing not only IRS Form 990-T at the federal level, but also CA Form 109 with the state. Failure to file when required can result in penalties and jeopardize an organization's good standing with the FTB.
Why Tax990 Built CA Form 109 Support
California is home to a large and diverse nonprofit sector, and many of those organizations already rely on Tax990 for their federal 990 filings. Adding CA Form 109 support was a natural next step in Tax990's commitment to serving nonprofits comprehensively - reducing the need to manage state and federal obligations across multiple platforms.
"Our goal has always been to make compliance as simple and stress-free as possible for nonprofits. California nonprofits with unrelated business income have historically had to navigate their state filing requirements separately, often without the same guided support they've come to expect from their federal filings. With CA Form 109 now available on Tax990, we're proud to bring that same level of simplicity and confidence to their state-level obligations,"- Naga Palanisamy, CEO of Tax990.
