Oh, we love Guidestar. I used it a year or so ago to discover that a certain financially troubled DC theater still owed its long-departed founder several thousand dollars -- and that it hadn't filed its Form 990 in several years. (They've since fixed that, up to 2005 at least -- part of the process of liquidating, I expect)
If you want the Form 990 of a particular non-profit, you can also write to the organization and ask for a copy. It's a matter of public record and the non-profit is required to send it to you. Some organizations charge a fee for the copying, but most will just mail it to you.
