For auto-revoked organizations

Lost your 501(c)(3)?
It's recoverable.

Miss three consecutive annual 990 filings and the IRS revokes your exemption automatically — it happens to tens of thousands of organizations every year, usually without anyone noticing until a donor or grantmaker does. The fix is a defined process, and it's what we do all day: streamlined retroactive reinstatement, so your status is restored as if it never lapsed and past donations stay deductible.

Three steps back to good standing

  1. 01

    Confirm the revocation

    We check the IRS auto-revocation list for your EIN and identify your revocation date and which reinstatement path you qualify for.

  2. 02

    Pick your path

    Within 15 months of revocation, most small organizations qualify for streamlined retroactive reinstatement under Rev. Proc. 2014-11 — status restored as if it never lapsed.

  3. 03

    Re-file and recover

    We prepare your new Form 1023/1023-EZ, reasonable-cause statements where required, and the missed 990s that started it all — then set up the compliance calendar so it never happens again.

More than 15 months out, or a larger organization? You'll use a retroactive path that adds a reasonable-cause statement — included in our Accelerate and Complete tiers with specialist review. Either way, the same flat pricing applies: $499 / $999 / $1,999.
