IRS Issues New Guides for Charitable Organizations
IR-2003-131, Nov. 17, 2003

WASHINGTON -- The Internal Revenue Service has published two new brochures
to help charities understand the tax laws conferring tax-exempt status.

One brochure is designed to help prospective charities apply for tax
exemption under the tax law. The other is a compliance guide that explains
the record keeping, return filing and disclosure rules for those
organizations.

IRS Publication 4220, Applying for 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Status, and
Publication 4221, Compliance Guide for 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Organizations,
are concise, easy-to-use brochures that contain the information most
tax-exempt organizations need in order to obtain and maintain their
tax-exempt status.

They provide references to other IRS publications and forms, as well as
special telephone numbers organizations can call if they need specific
help on more complex issues.

Publications 4220 and 4221 are available now on the IRS Web site,
www.irs.gov, and can be ordered by calling toll-free 1-800-829-3676.
