Charity Therapy
So you've submitted your IRS application and you're anxiously awaiting the letter in the mail with their response. But what if it just… never comes??
Meghan and I tackle a listener question from a new nonprofit that did everything right – they got their tax-exempt status (yay!) but still can't find the actual letter. What do you do?
Real Listener Question:
"My org got approved as a 501(c)(3) according to the IRS bulk list for my state. But I never actually received the determination letter and it's not on the website. Is this common? I know that many grants ask for the actual letter, so I'm not sure what to do."
Meghan and I break down what a determination letter is, why it might not have arrived yet, and what to do if you need a replacement (for any reason).
What You'll Learn:
Bottom line: The IRS moves SLOWLY sometimes. You can request a new determination letter anytime, but remember that every new request is another filing that will take time to complete. Take a deep breath and be ready to wait.
