Use when IRS-based financial data — revenue, expenses, assets, endowment details — or governance information (board composition, executive compensation) is needed beyond what IPEDS provides. Portal data ends at 2016; for current filings use full NCCS directly. Public institutions do not file Form 990 and are excluded.
