From the IRS

What are my filing responsibilities once I receive/apply for my tax-exempt status?
An organization that has $25,000 or more in gross receipts must file an exempt organization information return Form 8868 before the due date; an additional three-month extension may be requested on Form 8868 if the organization shows reasonable cause why the return cannot be filed by the extended due date.

Are there any exceptions to the requirement to file the Form 990?
Organizations with gross receipts of less than $100,000 and assets of less than $250,000 at the end of the year may file a Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of Organizations Exempt from Income Tax. In addition, certain governmental and church-affiliated organizations are not required to file returns.
