IRS Error Code - F990-145-01
If Form 990, Part IV, Line 29, checkbox "Yes" is checked, or Line 30, checkbox "Yes" is checked, then Schedule M must be present in the return.

What does it mean:

If you have chosen 'Yes' to Line 29 or Line 30 in Part IV of your organization's 990 return, Schedule M needs to be completed. Otherwise, the IRS can reject your organization's 990.

Resolution:
Your organization must complete and attach Schedule M, Noncash Contributions, in its 990 return.

Here's how to report noncash contributions

• From the home page, select the organization and the tax year.
• You need to click on the 'Rejected by the IRS' button to find the list of errors for the rejected return. Then, click the 'Fix Me' button to resolve the rejection error. 
• Based on the filing type you have chosen, you will be able to navigate to the corresponding page.
  • Interview-based filing -  You'll be directed to Contributions, Gifts, Grants, and similar amounts received by your organization page, where you must provide information regarding the noncash contributions.
  • Form-based filing - You'll be directed to Schedule M, Noncash Contributions, where you must provide information regarding the noncash contributions.
• Review the details, and click the 'Transmit' button to re-transmit your return to the IRS at no additional cost.

Note: We'll update you on the status of the return once we hear back from the IRS.
