Once all your federal forms have been filed, you can move on towards your state-specific forms. Each state varies in what type of forms they need submitted for non-profit organizations but a few of the typical forms include:

Application for state tax exemption

  • California requires a separate application for exemption from state taxes: Form 3500
  • For other states, search for state tax exemption in your state or look at your state’s Department of Revenue web site.  All state’s DoRs are listed here.

Application for a tax identification number

Register for permission to solicit funds for your organization and with the Registry of Charitable Trusts
