Common mistakes in meeting the Organizational Test can lead to your application's rejection. One frequent issue is incomplete or improper language in the articles of incorporation. For instance, failing to include specific language that reflects your nonprofit's purpose or using vague terms can raise red flags.
Private inurement occurs when the nonprofit's income or assets are used to benefit insiders, often board members, officers, directors, or employees. Engaging in this type of activity will result in the nonprofit losing its 501(c)(3) status and being subject to penalty excise taxes.
Historically, the IRS denies a very small number of 501(c)(3) applications (less than 1%). It is much more likely that they will ask you questions that seem too hard to answer. As many as 10% of applicants simply give up on their applications for this reason.
Earning too much income generated from unrelated activities can jeopardize an organization's 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. This income comes from a regularly carried- on trade or business that is not substantially related to the organization's exempt purpose.
To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual.
In general, an organization must file its exemption application within 27 months from the end of the month in which it was formed. If it does so, it may be recognized as exempt back to the date of formation.
