Is the IRS error code 3000 bothering you?
After talking to the IRS on the phone I have figured out how to avoid the IRS error code 3000 when filing a Form 990-N for our non-profit organization.
To file a Form 990-N for your non-profit organization you go to the following website
https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/annual-electronic-filing-requirement-for-small-exempt-organizations-form-990-n-e-postcard
Press the button that says submit Form 990-N. You will reach the following page.
Sign in with login.gov information
Sign in
Once you get the code on your phone enter the code. Then you reach here.
Pressing either of the two available options on the page above you reach the problem page.
You must edit where it says edit to change to “exempt organization” as shown above.
If you don't make that change you will get the error notice.
"An ever has occurred. See below for more information. If the problem continues, please contact the IRS at 877- 829- 5500
IRS error code 3000

In short, the key is to change to exempt organization before you can go any further in filing a Form 990-N for your non-profit organization.
