� � . Corporations organized under the not-for-profit statutes . � . . �
�� • , of the vanous states or territories of the U.S.do not au- .
" . tomatically qualify for exemption from Federal income
tax.Exemption is provided by section 501(a)of the In- �
temal Revenue Code ro those organizations described
in sections 501(c),501(d),and 401(a).Organizations
which claim to be exempt from tax because of tfieir
charitable,educational,religious or other activities of
the kind described in section 501(c)(3)are usuaily re- �
quired to submit Form 1023 within 15 months from the
end of the month they were created to request recogni-
tion of that status.If they do not apply,they may not be
recognized as exempt and wili lose the benefits that rec- �
ognition confers such as,for example,advance as-
surance to donors that contributions are deductible.If
_ they apply late,recognition of exemption will usually be • -
. . effective only from the date of application,rather than . .
from the date the organization was created. �
�. . With some exceptions,organizations qualifying under :.
� some provision other than 501(c)(3)are not required to . .
" � apply for recognition of exemption.But the Internal
• . � . • : Revenue Service regularly receives requests for deter-
mination letters on Forms 1024 from organizations �
described in section 501(c),other than 501(c)(3).Deter-
mination letters which are issued to organizations clarify
their Federal tax and information return filing
obligations.
The Internal Revenue Servics is required to collect a �
fee for processing these exemption applications.Gener-
ally the fee is$150 for smaller orga�izations and$300
for others.Form 8718,User Fee for Exempt Organiza-
tion Determination Letter Request,describes the fee '
structure and gives other information about user fees.
Several forms and publications are availabie to assist
in expiaining the requirements of and procedures for ob-
taining recognition of tax-exempt status.Publicatio�
. � 557,Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization,de- �
scribes the various types of organizations which may
qualify for tax-exempt status,and provides information
. • � on what forms to file,and where to file them.Forms
" . �. 1023 and 1024,mentioned above,are the application
forms which provide guidance for assembling the infor- '
mation needed by the IRS to determine whether an or-
ganization qualifies for exempt status.Form 8718,is
used to determine the correct fee to be paid with the
appiication.This form and the appropriate fee must be
submitted with the application. �
These forms and publications can be obtained by
telephoning the IRS's"forms only"number,1-800-424-
FORM.Taxpayer service technicians in each IRS district
are also available to provide information and assistance �
about tax-exempt status. .
