IRS
Introduces a New Short Application Form for 501(c)(3) Tax Exemption
|
|
A proposed new "EZ" application
form for tax exempt status is out for review. Implementation is
expected in the summer of 2014. The current form is 25 pages, while the
new form is just 2 pages. Completion time is projected to be reduced from
101 hours for the old form to just 14 hours.
Organizations with less
than $200,000 in revenue and $500,000 in assets will be able to use the
new form.
Hopefully, this will help
the IRS streamline the review process, as the current average date of
applications being reviewed is July, 2013.
