Oops! Our nonprofit filed a 990-N Postcard but we Should Have Filed a 990-EZ. What Will Happen?

Sometimes it happens that a nonprofit will submit the 990-N Electronic Postcard when they were supposed to file a Form 990-EZ or long form 990. How does the IRS discover this mistake and what will they do about it? www.nonprofittaxguy.com

Hello! Please correct my understanding if this is wrong. Is a 990-N filing is in lieu of the 990-EZ, if the entity has qualified to file a 990-N? It doesn't need to file both. Thanks in advance!

You are correct. If the entity is eligible to submit the 990-N, it does not have to submit anything other than the 990-N. In other words, the 990-N meets the filing requirement by itself.
