    501c3 status help.....

    How can I obtain a current copy of our 501c3 status for our Fire Department???? I've been on hold with the IRS for 25 minutes already!!!!!

    I hope the Fire Department's name doesn't include the terms, "Tea Party", "Patriotic" or "Conservative" or you could be in for a long long wait.

      You actually do it through the Texas Secretary of State office. Here is the website with all the forms and FAQs.

        It states that I have to file a 990N... Guess I will remain on hold till I get to talk to a human and figure out what our actuall status is.... Ive been keeping the books for 5 years and have yet to see anything from the IRS.....

        Wish me luck!!

            Plan on all day to be told I'll transfer you and then be disconnected so you can start it all over again!

              thats because theyre too busy reading the answers on the questionares sent out to vet TEA party groups. not to mention there are only a handful of the agents who do 501c3 stuff.

                Try looking here. There is lots of useful info through the links on this page too.

                Search information about a tax-exempt organization’s federal tax status and filings.

                    I watching this because our Youth Sports Organization used to have 501c3 and tax exempt status and the guy who was in charge before me failed to send in a post card yearly....for 3 years....thus causing us to lose it ALL.

                    Now I have to start from scratch I guess.

                    I am currently working on it and I will post or PM Chef of any findings.

                      Look at the 990N form. Looks like our department has "never" finished our tax exempt application. I contacted a local tax accountant for guidance. She will have info for me tomorrow.
