For 7A and DUAL filers, calculate the 7A fee:

X

$0, if you marked the 7A exemption in Part 3a $25, if you did not mark the 7A exemption in Part 3a

For EPTL and DUAL filers, calculate the EPTL fee: $0, if you marked the EPTL exemption in Part 3b $25, if the NET WORTH is less than $50,000 $50, if the NET WORTH is $50,000 or more but less than $250,000 $100, if the NET WORTH is $250,000 or more but less than $1,000,000 $250, if the NET WORTH is $1,000,000 or more but less than $10,000,000 $750, if the NET WORTH is $10,000,000 or more but less than $50,000,000 $1500, if the NET WORTH is $50,000,000 or more

NET WORTH for fee purposes is calculated on: - IRS From 990 Part I, line 22 - IRS Form 990 EZ Part I, line 21 - IRS Form 990 PF, calculate the difference between Total Assets at Fair Market Value (Part II, line 16(c)) and Total Liabilities (Part II, line 23(b)).
