Questions, answered plainly

Q.What government fees will I pay, and do you mark them up?

Never marked up — and always itemized before checkout. Typical: state incorporation $20–$275 depending on state; IRS user fee $275 (Form 1023-EZ) or $600 (full Form 1023).

Q.We're already operating. Is that a problem?

It's our specialty. Your journey skips what you've done, verifies what exists (e.g., that your articles contain the IRS-required clauses), and back-fills only what's missing.

Q.Our 501(c)(3) status was revoked. Can you fix it?

If you were auto-revoked for missing three consecutive 990s, the IRS streamlined retroactive process (Rev. Proc. 2014-11) can restore status as if it never lapsed — available in every tier.

Q.Am I eligible for the 1023-EZ?

Generally: projected revenue under $50,000/year for three years, assets under $250,000, and not a church, school, hospital, or foreign organization. Our free 3-minute quiz gives you a definitive answer.

Q.How long does it take?

Incorporation: days (state-dependent). EIN: same day. IRS determination: typically 2–6 weeks for 1023-EZ, 3–9 months for full 1023. We keep you moving; the IRS sets its own pace.

Q.Are you a law firm?

No. We provide self-help software and document preparation at your direction, with attorney-reviewed templates. For edge cases we refer you to our partner network of nonprofit attorneys and CPAs.
