Case Closed letter from IRS for Non Profit Application
19 Jun 2008 by Chetan Shah.
As from my other posts on non profit, you would have noticed that I did the paperwork neccessary for non-profit (501c3) setup with IRS myself. The application was submitted in August ‘07 and was approved in April ‘08.
However, in January ‘08. I received a letter from IRS stating that they had tried to contact me at my mailing address and since I had not responded before the end date mentioned in that letter, they had closed my case. Needless to say that it was a frusterating moment for me because I had never received a letter from the IRS and I was in constant touch with them since December ‘07 and was assured that my application has been assigned and the agent is working on it.
After a couple of phone calls and snail mails my case was reopened and was finally approved in April’ 08.
So, if you get a similar letter from IRS, don’t be disheartened, you will have to just present your case calmly to the assigned agent and s/he will work with you to get it reopened and approved. The IRS agent I was working with was very helpful and guided me thru the whole process.
