Louis:

As treasurer of our New Mexico affiliate, I have found that the 990 is best reviewed with a reader. It takes too much time to try to OCR the picture of the form. If you must have a solution, I have used ABBYY FineReader Pro, which costs around $170. Less expensively, you can use DocuScan Plus by leasing ($22 a month) Accessibility Anywhere from Serotek.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong
