"Xbox 360 backwards compatibility" redirects here. For Xbox 360 games compatible with Xbox One, see List of backward compatible games for Xbox One § List of compatible titles from Xbox 360.
The Xbox 360 gaming console has received updates from Microsoft from its launch in 2005 until November 2007 that enable it to play select games from its predecessor, Xbox. The Xbox 360 launched with backward compatibility with the number of supported Xbox games varying depending on region. Microsoft continued to update the list of Xbox games that were compatible with Xbox 360 until November 2007 when the list was finalized. Microsoft later launched the Xbox Originals program on December 7, 2007 where select backward compatible Xbox games could be purchased digitally on Xbox 360 consoles with the program ending less than two years later in June 2009. The following is a list of all backward compatible games on Xbox 360 under this functionality.

History[edit]
An official hard drive is required to play emulated Xbox games.
At its launch in November 2005, the Xbox 360 did not have hardware-based backward compatibility with Xbox games due to the different types of hardware and architecture used in the Xbox and Xbox 360. Instead backward compatibility was achieved using software emulation.[1] When the Xbox 360 launched in North America 212 Xbox games were supported while in Europe 156 games were supported.[2][3] The Japanese market had the least amount of titles supported at launch with only 12 games.[4] Microsoft's final update to the list of backward compatible titles was in November 2007 bringing the final total to 461 Xbox games.[5][6]
In order to use the backwards compatibility feature on Xbox 360 a hard drive is required.[2] Updates to the list were provided from Microsoft as part of regular software updates via the Internet, ordering a disc by mail from the official website or downloading the update from the official website then burning it to a CD or DVD. Subscribers to Official Xbox Magazine would also have updates to the backwards compatibility list on the demo discs included with the magazine.[7]
Supported original Xbox games will run each with an emulation profile that has been recompiled for each game with the emulation profiles stored on the console's hard drive.[6][8] Original Xbox games must use the original game disc and can't be installed to the hard drive unlike Xbox 360 games.[5] Game saves and downloadable content can't be transferred from an original Xbox to an Xbox 360.[2] Xbox Live functionality for original Xbox games were available until April 15, 2010 until support for original Xbox games were discontinued.[9] System link functionality between original Xbox and Xbox 360 remains available.[5]
Microsoft launched the Xbox Originals program in December 2007 where Xbox 360 owners could purchase select original Xbox titles digitally if they did not own a game disc and could be found inside their own section in the Xbox Live Marketplace.[10][11] Beginning in June 2009 the branding was phased out and the games were moved to the "Games on Demand" section of the store while Microsoft stating that they have "finished it's portfolio" of Xbox Originals.[12]
During Microsoft's E3 2017 press conference on June 11, 2017, backward compatibility for original Xbox games on Xbox One family of consoles was announced.[13] Part of the backward compatibility program for Xbox One will see original Xbox games be made available digitally in addition to owners of the original Xbox game disc. Prior to the first batch of original Xbox backward compatible titles for Xbox One were revealed six titles that were never released digitally as part of Xbox Originals program for Xbox 360 appeared in its "Games on Demand" store. Microsoft also confirmed that digital licenses would also carry over to Xbox One.[14]
Game saves for original Xbox games that are backward compatible on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One can't be transferred between the three generations. While Xbox Live functionality won't be available Albert Penello, head of marketing for Xbox, explained users could "system link an original Xbox, an Xbox 360, an Xbox One and an Xbox One X for a four-player system-link LAN play with all original disks across three generations of consoles."[14]

^ Jump up to: a b Grand Theft Auto III was announced as a backwards compatible title on November 11, 2005 but is not included on the official list from Microsoft.[29][5] The game is part of the compliation Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy which is included on the list.[5] In a comparison of the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of Grand Theft Auto III in 2011 the backward compatibility feature of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 was used for the comparison. [30]
Jump up ^ The official backward compatibility list erroneously states only the North American version of this game is supported on the Xbox 360.[5] This title was only released for the Nintendo GameCube in North America.[39] This title was released as an Xbox Original only for Japanese Xbox 360 owners.[20]
^ Jump up to: a b c James Bond 007: Nightfire, Sniper Elite and Tecmo Classic Arcade were original Xbox titles that were announced would be backwards compatible with Xbox 360 from its launch date.[29] The titles remained on the official list from Microsoft until the website was updated on February 14, 2008 removing the titles from the list.[46][47] Sniper Elite was included on Microsoft's official list of technical issues for certain Xbox games on Xbox 360. The page was removed between October and November 2010 when the official Xbox website was given a redesign.[48][49] The titles are not included on the current official backward compatible list from Microsoft.[5]

Form 990
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Form 990, 2015
Form 990 (officially, the "Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax"[1]) is a United States Internal Revenue Service form that provides the public with financial information about a nonprofit organization. It is often the only source of such information. It is also used by government agencies to prevent organizations from abusing their tax-exempt status. Certain nonprofits have more comprehensive reporting requirements, such as hospitals and other health care organizations (Schedule H).

Variants[edit]
Form 990-EZ[edit]
There is a variant of Form 990 called Form 990-EZ ("Short Form Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax"). This form can be used instead of Form 990 for organizations with gross receipts less than $200,000 and total assets less than $500,000 (there are some exceptions).[2]
Form 990-N[edit]
Small organizations whose annual gross receipts are "normally $50,000 or less" must file the electronic Form 990-N (officially, "Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) for Tax-Exempt Organizations Not Required to File Form 990 or Form 990EZ"). There is no paper form for 990-N, but it is possible to file instead Form 990 or Form 990-EZ.[3]
Form 990-PF[edit]
Form 990-PF is filed by private foundations in the US. It includes fiscal information and a complete list of grants, among other information. The form is due to the IRS 4.5 months after the end of the foundation's fiscal year.[4]
Schedules[edit]
In addition to Form 990, tax-exempt organizations are also subject to a variety of disclosure and compliance requirements through various schedules which are attached to Form 990 (and, in some cases, 990-EZ or 990-PF). Filing of schedules by organizations supplements, enhances, and further clarifies disclosures and compliance reporting made in Form 990. Often, filing of schedules is mandatory, but there are situations where organizations not otherwise subject to filing requirements may consider completing certain schedules despite not being technically obligated to.

Schedule D Supplemental Financial Statements 5 No
Schedule E Schools 1 Yes
Schedule F Statement of Activities Outside the United States 4 No
Schedule G Supplemental Information Regarding Fundraising or Gaming Activities 3 Yes
Schedule H Hospitals 4 No
Schedule I Grants and Other Assistance to Organizations, Governments, and Individuals in the United States 2 No
Schedule J Compensation Information 3 No
Schedule K Supplemental Information on Tax-Exempt Bonds 2 No
Schedule L Transactions With Interested Persons 1 Yes
Schedule M Noncash Contributions 2 No
Schedule N Liquidation, Termination, Dissolution, or Significant Disposition of Assets 3 Yes
Schedule O Supplemental Information to Form 990 2 No
Schedule R Related Organizations and Unrelated Partnerships 4 No
Filing requirements[edit]
Form 990 is due on the 15th of the 5th month after the fiscal year, with up to 6 months of extensions.[6]
The Form 990 disclosures do not require but strongly encourage nonprofit boards to adopt a variety of board policies regarding governance practices. These suggestions go beyond Sarbanes-Oxley requirements for nonprofits to adopt whistleblower and document retention policies. The IRS has indicated they will use the Form 990 as an enforcement tool, particularly regarding executive compensation. For example, nonprofits that adopt specific procedures regarding executive compensation are offered safe harbor from excessive compensation rules under section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulation section 53.4958-6.[7]
Fiduciary reporting[edit]
According to section 1223(b) of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, a nonprofit organization that does not file annual returns or notices for three consecutive years will have its tax-exempt status revoked as of the due date of the third return or notice.[8] An organization's tax-exempt status may be reinstated if it can show reasonable cause for the years of nonfiling.[9]
Who must file?[edit]
Form 990 is to be filed by tax-exempt organizations under section 501(a). This includes organizations in section 501(c)(3) (excluding private foundations) and most organizations in other subsections of 501(c).[10] Tax-exempt organizations with annual gross receipts of $200,000 or more or assets of $500,000 or more must file Form 990.[5] Churches (including houses of worship such as synagogues and mosques) and their integrated auxiliaries, associations of churches, and any religious order that engages exclusively in religious activity are not required to file.[11]
Filing modalities[edit]
The Form 990 may be filed with the IRS by mail or electronically with an Authorized IRS e-file Provider.
Penalties[edit]
There is a penalty of $20 per day that the organization fails to make its Forms 990 publicly available, which is capped at a maximum of $10,000 for any single failure. Any person who willfully fails to comply will be subject to an additional penalty of $5,000.[12] There are other penalties for e.g. omitting information.[13]:229
In 1998, over $10 million was collected by the IRS for penalties on over 9000 forms.[13]:229
Public inspection regulations[edit]
Public Inspection IRC 6104(d) regulations state that an organization must provide copies of its three most recent Forms 990 to anyone who requests them, whether in person, by mail, fax, or e-mail.
Form 990 data published by IRS[edit]
The IRS publishes Form 990 data in two main forms, as part of the Statistics of Income program:
An annual extract of tax-exempt organizational data, which covers selected financial data from filters of Form 990, 990-EZ, and 990-PF, with data available from calendar year 2012 to the most recent year for which filing and statistics compilation is complete.[14] This is also available as a public dataset on Google BigQuery.[15]
As a public dataset on Amazon S3, hosted in the US East region. The dataset includes index files for each year that list nonprofits that filed Form 990 in that year (possibly for a previous year) along with the identifier for their filing. This identifier can be used to fetch their filed Form 990 as a XML file. Data covers returns filed from 2011 to the present and is regularly updated.[16] This dataset is used by Charity Navigator.[17]
Third-party sources of Form 990[edit]
Google BigQuery, which has IRS Form 990 data as a public dataset.[15] This is based on statistics published by the IRS from 2012 to the most recent completed year.[14]
Charity Navigator, which maintains a "990 Decoder" website with over 2.5 million tax returns.[17][18] This is based on forms filed from 2011 to the present, and uploaded by the IRS to Amazon S3.[16]

History[edit]
Form 990 was first used for the tax year ending in 1941. It was as a two-page form.[13] Organizations were also required to include a schedule with the names and addresses of payees who had given the organization at least $4,000 during the year.[25]
The form reached four pages (including instructions) in 1947. In 1976 this was increased to 5.5 pages (including instructions), with 8 pages for Schedule A. By 2000 this was 6 pages for Form 990, 42 pages for instructions, 6 pages for Schedule A, and at least 2 pages for Schedule B. This increase is due to use of a larger font and inclusion of sections that are only required for some organizations.[13]
Starting in 2000, political organizations were required to file Form 990.[13]
In June 2007, the IRS released a new Form 990 that requires significant disclosures on corporate governance and boards of directors. These new disclosures are required for all nonprofit filers for the 2009 tax year, with more significant reporting requirements for nonprofits with over $1 million in revenues or $2.5 million in assets.
In 2010, the minimum threshold of when an organization is required to file Form 990 was increased: the minimum annual gross receipts was increased from $100,000 to $200,000 and the minimum assets was increased from $250,000 to $500,000.[5]
With the availability of the internet, access to the Form 990 of an organization has also become easier. Originally Form 990 had to be requested through the IRS. This was changed to allow access to the form directly through the organization, although in some cases organizations refused to provide access.[13]
Use by charity evaluation organizations[edit]
Charity Navigator uses IRS Forms 990[26] to rate charities. In February 2017, Charity Navigator launched the Digitized Form 990 Decoder, a free and open-source software dataset and tools to analyze Form 990 filings. At launch, more than 900,000 forms had been processed.[18][27]
Meanwhile Holden Karnofsky of the nonprofit charity evaluator GiveWell has criticized Form 990 for not providing sufficient information about what a charity does or where it operates.[28] However GiveWell does still use Form 990 to answer some questions when investigating charities.[29]
There was a website called Quality 990 that advocated for higher quality Form 990s.[30]
