Dear LawGuru User:
I have formed a number of 501(c)(3) corporations.
Documents required to incorporate a 501(c)(3) include Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Consents to Action or Minutes and numerous
documents required to apply for and obtain a federal tax exemption.� Directors, officers and members (if any) are not liable for the entity's obligations. Income and profits from this entity are not distributable to members, directors
or officers.� Filing the appropriate documents with the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) must occur in order for contributors to claim a tax deduction
for contributions.
The tax returns and other financial records of a 501(c)(3) organization are available to the public. You will not own a 501(c)(3). It is not intended to be the property of the incorporator, its president or of any other person. The board of directors of the 501(c)(3) determines its direction and activities.
Thank you for using LawGuru.
Sincerely,
Louise Aron
Attorney at Law
