A Lawyer with Experience in Tax Exemption Applications
Nonprofit Attorney Jonathan Grissom has extensive experience assisting clients with the completion and filing of tax exemption applications, including the following:
Internal Revenue Service Form 1023 Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
IRS Form 1023 is filed by organizations to apply for recognition of exemption from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3). If the application is approved, the IRS will issue a determination letter that provides written assurance about the organization's tax-exempt status, and its qualification to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions. Every organization qualifying for exemption under section 501(c)(3) will also be classified as either a “public charity” or a “private foundation.”
Other organizations that apply for tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) by filing Form 1023 include section 501(e) and (f) cooperative service organizations, section 501(k) childcare organizations, and section 501(n) charitable risk pools.
