Tax-exempty status – Examples of Package 1023?
I am in the process of forming a non profit in NC. Since I was able to view completed Articles of Inc. on the NC Secretary of State site I was wondering if there is a website where I could view the paperwork (1023, 990, etc) involved in the 501(c)3 process.
I am interested in viewing completed applications. Assuming that a tax-exempt organization is open to scrutiny, because of its status, I would think that one would be able to view these forms in their entirety, as opposed to instructions and blank forms provided by irs.gov.
Past incorrect answers have been:
Form 990
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f990.pdf
instructions
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i990-ez.pdf
See Application for Exemption
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1023.pdf
explanation of requirements:
IRS Publication 557 ""Tax Exempt Status for Your Organization"
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p557.pdf
These are blank not completed forms.
