🛡️

No Form 1023 Application

Qualifying churches begin operating without waiting on an IRS determination letter, because Section 508(c)(1)(A) excepts them from the application requirement. The organization must still meet every requirement of Section 501(c)(3) on its own facts.

📋

Church Form 990 Exception

Churches are excepted from the annual Form 990 filing requirement under Section 6033. A religious organization that is not a church does file Form 990 each year. Which one applies to a given organization turns on its actual facts, and we assess that before any documents are drafted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our ministry management software

A 508(c)(1)(A) organization is a church or religious organization that is excepted from the Form 1023 application requirement. Section 508(c)(1)(A) removes the filing requirement; it does not by itself confer exempt status, and the organization must independently satisfy the requirements of Section 501(c)(3) on its own facts.

No Form 1023 application is required for qualifying churches. That is the operative effect of Section 508(c)(1)(A). A religious organization that is not a church does have to file Form 1023, and it must do so within 27 months of formation to be recognized back to the formation date.

Contributions may be deductible under Section 170. One limitation is worth knowing up front: without an IRS determination letter, a donor claiming a deduction carries the burden of establishing the organization qualifies if the return is examined. Many individual donors accept this. Most institutional grantors and foundations do not, which is why a voluntary Form 1023 is sometimes worth filing.

No. Churches and religious organizations under 508(c)(1)(A) are exempt from filing annual Form 990 information returns, significantly reducing your administrative compliance burden.

Both provide tax-exempt status and tax-deductible donations. The key difference is that 508(c)(1)(A) organizations (churches and religious organizations) receive automatic exemption without filing Form 1023 and are not required to file Form 990 annually. 501(c)(3) organizations must apply for exemption and typically file annual returns.

Yes. Our software supports integration with business entities such as LLCs and corporations. Your 508(c)(1)(A) ministry can work alongside business operations while maintaining proper compliance separation and documentation.

The package includes professional trust document drafting, lifetime access to the ministry management dashboard, donor portal with contribution tracking, comprehensive reporting system, complete website build-out, admin/trustee access portal, and full database infrastructure.

The $225 annual license fee covers ongoing software updates, security patches, cloud hosting, database maintenance, technical support, and compliance monitoring to ensure your ministry stays current with regulations.

Churches, integrated auxiliaries of churches, conventions or associations of churches, medical missions, food banks serving religious purposes, youth ministries, farm ministries with religious education, and similar religious organizations typically qualify for 508(c)(1)(A) status.
