For the Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) to recognize an organization's exemption, the organization must be organized as a trust, a corporation, or an association. (It is possible for unincorporated associations to gain recognition as a tax-exempt organization, but not having a corporate form could expose all those volunteering for the organization to legal liability, so we highly recommend seeking legal advice before going this route.)

The process of receiving a determination letter from the IRS may take anywhere from a few weeks to several months and may require submission of additional information to the IRS for them to rule on your application. It is important to keep all the correspondence you may have with the IRS in connection with the application since the correspondence is considered part of the application that you may have to produce in the future.

Indeed, Form 1023 is a public document. An exempt organization that filed for exemption before July 15, 1987, must make available for public inspection its exemption application. For 501(c)(3) public charities, this means Form 1023. For other types of 501(c) exempt orgs, this means Form 1024. Also subject to public inspection are any supporting documents and any letter or document issued by the IRS concerning the application.

Questions about the application for 501(c)3 status or form 1023 are by far the most common I get in my role as a professional-in-residence at the ASU Lodestar Center. The instructions from the IRS are almost 40 pages and the form itself is 26 pages, so it is no wonder the task may feel overwhelming! Fortunately, there are resources available, and a clear perspective will help focus your efforts.
Organized is the process by which an organization is legally formed as a corporation, trust, or association with the corresponding documents, such as articles of incorporation. The organizing document must limit the purposes of the organization to exempt purpose endeavors and permanently dedicate its assets to exempt purposes. Further, the organizing document must not expressly permit activities that do not further the purpose.
If an application is complete and acceptable, the IRS will send an acknowledgement of its receipt soon after it is received and a determination in approximately three months. Some applications will be forwarded to the Exempt Office Technical Office for consideration where additional information might be requested. If the application is not complete, applicants will be notified.
The Internal Revenue Service says data from approved filings of Form 1023, the Streamlined Application for Recognition of Exemption, is now available online for the first time. The move means publicly available data can be accessed in spreadsheet form for tax years starting in mid-2014 (when the 1023-EZ was introduced) through 2016.
Form 1023-EZ must be filed electronically. It includes basic identifying information such as the name of the organization seeking the exemption, its Employer Identification Number (EIN) and the names of officers, directors or trustees. Submission includes organizing documents, and data on the state of incorporation, and the purpose and activities of the organization.
The push to get data from Form 1023-EZ online is part of the IRS effort to provide more information about the tax-exempt community. In June of last year, the IRS announced that data from e-filed Forms 990 would be publicly available in machine-readable format through Amazon Web Services.

All county liens, mechanic liens, judgments and mortgages are released from the tax deed property and do not follow deed to new owner. State and federal liens stay with the property.

The IRS recently revised Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as an online fill-in form that must be filed electronically. You can find an overview of the mechanics of e-filing Form 1023 here. For lawyers and tax practitioners, you may also want to review Rev. Proc. 2020-8.
As of January 31, 2020, a Form 1023 must be submitted electronically online at Pay.gov. However, the IRS has provided a 90-day grace period during which it will continue to accept paper versions of Form 1023 (Rev. 12-2017). For nonprofits that have been working on the paper copy and prefer not to file the electronic version, they will have until around April 30 to complete the paper filing.
NTEE Code. The Form 1023 now requires the applicant to enter a National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) code best describing the organization. The list of NTEE codes is provided in Appendix D to the newly revised Instructions for Form 1023.
501(h) election. Form 5768, Election/Revocation of Election by an Eligible Section 501(c)(3) Organization To Make Expenditures To Influence Legislation, is no longer submitted with Form 1023. It must be separately mailed to the IRS. We have strongly recommended this filing for the vast majority of public charity applicants. See Starting a Nonprofit: The Value of Making the 501(h) Lobbying Election.
The online Form 1023 will not permit the person completing the application to move to the next page of the Form until they have completed all of the questions on the current page, including entering required descriptions or explanations or completing required schedules. Admittedly, this may help in assuring completion of all required items on the Form. However, this may also make it much more burdensome for those who do not have all of the information required in the precise order in which the Form is structured. One strategy to address this problem is to first complete a draft of the filing on paper (see this preview Form 1023) then transfer such information to the online filing.
The Form 1023 includes questions in which a yes-or-no-type response may not require a supplemental response, but to which the applicant may want to provide additional pertinent information. Because a comment text box will not open up to allow such entries, the applicant must include such additional information in the supplemental attachment that must be attached as one pdf file.
Nonprofit Corporations: Not all non-profit organizations are filed with the Secretary of State. Many, but not all, non-profit organizations choose to incorporate. A nonprofit corporation is created by filing a certificate of formation with the secretary of state in accordance with the Texas Business Organizations Code ("BOC"). "Nonprofit corporation" means a corporation no part of the income of which is distributable to members, directors, or officers [BOC, Section 22.001(5)]. A nonprofit corporation may be created for any lawful purpose, or purposes permitted by the BOC. Not all nonprofit corporations are entitled to exemption from state or federal taxes.
