My small grassroots group received a 1099-MISC form and I don't know how to file it or if we should have even gotten it. We qualify for automatic tax-exempt status and may become a 501(c)(3) in the future. I tried to file a 990-N postcard but the system didn't recognize our EIN. I looked at the 990 form and don't know how to fill it out because we don't have most of the information it asks for. The 1099-MISC was for a donation, not compensation. Will filing a 990-EZ form force us to pursue 501(c)(3) status if we're not ready?
