Nonprofit Tax Exempt Status:
    Not all nonprofit organizations are automatically tax-exempt.
    Many nonprofits are organized as both a nonprofit corporation and a tax-exempt entity.
    Nonprofit status refers to state-law status.
    Tax-exempt status refers to state and federal tax exemption under tax regulations.

Tax-exempt status means exempt from paying certain taxes.

Tax-exempt status from the IRS exempts a nonprofit from paying corporate federal income tax on revenue generated from activities that are related to the purposes for which the group was organized.

Different state laws may allow various types of organizations to be exempt from paying sales tax, hotel occupancy tax, and, if incorporated, franchise tax.

Tax-exempt organizations may still responsible for federal payroll (Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment) taxes, unemployment taxes, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, sales and use taxes, franchise taxes, and taxes on lobbying activities, among others.

501(c) categories: 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), 501(c)(6), 501(c)(7), 501(c)(13), and more.

To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes; none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual.

Tax-exempt status from the IRS will allow contributions made to charitable organizations by individuals and corporations to be deductible under Code section 170.

Nonprofits must apply at both the federal and state level for tax-exempt status.

To apply for federal tax-exempt status, a nonprofit goes through several steps, including applying to the IRS using Form 1023, 1023EZ, or 1024, depending on the type of work and budget projections.

Tax-exempt organizations have annual filing requirements. An organization will automatically lose tax-exempt status for failure to file certain returns.
