The Illinois Non-Religious Tax Exemption application is a form used to apply for a state tax exemption for religious organizations that are exempt from paying the state’s income taxes. The application is intended for religious organizations that are not subject to the state’s income taxes, such as churches, synagogues, mosques, and other similar religious organizations. There are two types of Illinois Non-Religious Tax Exemption applications: the Form IL-1040-NR-EZ and the Form IL-1040-NR. The Form IL-1040-NR-EZ is intended for religious organizations with simpler tax returns, and the Form IL-1040-NR is intended for religious organizations with more complex tax returns. Both forms require the applicant to provide information regarding their organization, such as its name, address, and purpose. After the application is filled out and submitted, the applicant will receive a certificate of exemption from the State of Illinois.
