501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Status

Non-Profits seek recognition of 501(c)(3) exempt status from the IRS because such recognition provides many benefits. This is crucial for the prosperity of the Organization, and also that the Directors of the organization, as well as its donors and contributors, are certain that the Organization is eligible for exemption and the many tax-preferred provisions that congress has created for such organizations.

However, the IRS establishes a number of overriding restrictions and limitations that apply to your Non-Profit. Meeting these rules is critical to qualifying for and maintaining your nonprofit tax-exempt status. These laws are complex.
