Frequently Asked Questions

Before you get started

Is nonprofit formation the same as 501(c)(3) status?

No. State incorporation creates the nonprofit corporation. Federal tax-exempt recognition is a separate IRS process.

Which federal application will my organization use?

The appropriate application pathway depends on the organization’s eligibility, structure, activities, finances, history, and other IRS requirements. GOS reviews the administrative information before recommending a service package.

Are approval or funding guaranteed?

No. State and IRS decisions are outside GOS’s control, and formation or tax-exempt recognition does not guarantee donations, grants, or revenue.

Are government fees included?

No. Government, domain, hosting, email, registered-agent, software, shipping, and other third-party expenses are separate unless included in writing.
