Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between forming a nonprofit and obtaining 501(c)(3) status?
Forming a nonprofit is the process of legally establishing an organization at the state level by filing Articles of Incorporation. Obtaining 501(c)(3) status involves applying to the IRS for tax-exempt status, which allows your organization to avoid federal income tax and accept tax-deductible donations.
How long does it take to obtain 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status?
The timeline varies. State incorporation typically takes 1-2 weeks. IRS approval for 501(c)(3) status depends on the complexity of the application and can take 3-6 months or longer. Expedited processing is not available for 501(c)(3) applications.
What documents are required to form a nonprofit and apply for 501(c)(3) status?
To form a nonprofit, you’ll need to file Articles of Incorporation with your state. For 501(c)(3) status, you’ll need to submit IRS Form 1023 (long or EZ version), bylaws, a mission statement, financial projections, and proof of incorporation.
What are the ongoing responsibilities of a 501(c)(3) organization?
Nonprofits must file annual reports with their state, submit IRS Form 990 (or its variants), maintain proper financial records, and adhere to their mission statement. Noncompliance can lead to fines or loss of tax-exempt status.
Can a nonprofit engage in political activities?
Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status cannot engage in political campaigns or endorse candidates. However, limited lobbying activities are allowed if they are not a substantial part of the organization’s activities. Compliance with IRS rules is crucial.
What happens if my 501(c)(3) application is denied?
If denied, the IRS will provide reasons and guidance for correction. You can address the issues and reapply. Our team can assist with revising your application and ensuring compliance to improve your chances of approval.
