Quick Questions

The Standard Form 1023 is more comprehensive and detailed. It requires extensive narratives about your organization's activities, financial projections, governance structure, and more. While more complex, it's necessary for larger organizations, churches, schools, hospitals, or any organization with revenue over $50k/year or assets over $250k. We guide you through every section with expert review.

The full Form 1023 typically takes several weeks to complete and submit, depending on your organization's complexity and how quickly you can provide information. After submission, IRS processing usually takes 3-6 months. We help you prepare thoroughly to avoid delays or requests for additional information.

No! That's what we're here for. You'll need to be incorporated and have an EIN, but we help you develop your program descriptions, financial projections, governance policies, and all other required narratives during the process. Our 45-minute kickoff call helps us understand your mission and create a customized roadmap.

If the IRS requests additional information or clarifications (which is common with Form 1023), we help you prepare a complete response at no additional cost. Our pre-submission review process significantly reduces the likelihood of substantive questions, but we're with you throughout the entire process until approval.
