Non-Profit FAQs
What happens when I order a non-profit corporation formation from CorpCo?
You will receive confirmation of your order by email. At the same time, CorpCo will receive and review your request for accuracy and will begin preparing the necessary paperwork. If you are applying for 501(c)3 status with the IRS, we will require further information and will contact you to request those details. CorpCo will draft your formation document and send to you for review and the signature of the person to act as incorporator. The filing is then submitted to the state for processing. If your order includes Express Processing, it will take priority over other routine requests which means a faster processing time. While turnaround times vary greatly from state to state, routine processing is generally about 7-10 days. With CorpCo’s Express Processing, orders can be completed in as little as 24-48 hours in many states. Once your company has been approved by the state, CorpCo will send confirmation of filing which usually includes a file-stamped copy of the filing. If your company formation package includes a corporate kit, CorpCo will ship the kit under separate cover within 3-5 days of company formation.
I want to file for tax-exempt status. What makes this type of filing different?
In order to file for tax-exempt status with the IRS, your non-profit incorporation documents must reflect the details required by the IRS. These details include, but may not be limited to a specific business purpose which indicates that the company is exclusively organized for charitable purposes and an indication as to how the assets of the company will be distributed upon its dissolution.
