rent is enough (one of the main points are established places of worship, regular congregations, regular religious services)
see IRS pub. 1828- shuls are by law already 501c3, they are NFP when the incorporate under NJ Corp Law 15a or 16
they just dont have the IRS determination (and wont be listed in Pub 78 or on Guidestar.
As long as they really are a shul as defined in American Guidance Foundation, Inc. v. United States
Thanks for this info. Really appreciate it.
Quick question, I am quoting 1828
"Although there is no requirement to do so, many churches seek recognition of tax-exempt status from the IRS because this recognition assures church leaders, members and contributors that the church is recognized as exempt and qualifies for related tax benefits. For example, contributors to a church that has been
recognized as tax exempt would know that their contributions generally are
tax-deductible."
How would I do this?
How do I know if I did this "they are NFP when the incorporate under NJ Corp Law 15a or 16", ?
