<p>Efile data has been parsed into 125 tables that correspond to sections (“Parts”) on 990 Forms and Schedules. All years use a consistent data dictionary.</p>
<p>Non-mandatory electronic filing for tax-exempt organizations started around 2010 (note that tax year lags the calendar year by 12-18 months). Utilization of electronic filing options (versus paper returns) grew steadily over the next decade.</p>

<p>Starting in 2016 the IRS began releasing electronic returns as free open data to the general public in a raw XML format. <em>The schemas needed to make sense of the XML file structures, however, have not been made public.</em></p>

<p>Beginning in the 2019/2020 tax year efiling became mandatory for most tax-exempt organizations.</p>

<p>The 990PF fields have been mapped within the Concordance File, so technically <ahref="https://github.com/Nonprofit-Open-Data-Collective/990pf-dev">it is possible to build 990PF tables with the irs990efile package</a>. Due to the complexity of many 990PF tables (mandatory fields are often formatted as Schedule O amendments or file attachments that require additional parsing) we have not created public files for widespread distribution.</p>
<p>All other EFILE tables have PZ form scope, meaning they include data from both full 990 and 990EZ filers.</p>

<p>For the list of available TTT tables see the <ahref="https://nonprofit-open-data-collective.github.io/irs990efile/data-dictionary/data-dictionary.html">DATA DICTIONARY</a>.</p>
<p>Since schedules are not required for most 990 filers the corresponding schedule data tables only contain organizations that have filed that specific schedule. <strong>SCHEDULE-TABLE.CSV</strong> documents which 990 schedules each organized has filed in a given tax year. It thus can serve as a sampling framework.</p>
