Best Answer

Form 1023 is Application for Recognition of Exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible organizations file Form 1023 to obtain recognition of exemption from federal income tax under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3). Eligible organizations are those that are organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, public safety testing, library, or educational purposes. Also eligible are organizations organized and operated to foster national or international amateur sports competition or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.

Although certain organizations (such as churches, integrated church auxiliaries, church conventions/associations) aren't required to file Form 1023 to receive their tax-exempt status, they may file the form anyway to receive a determination letter recognizing their section 501(c)(3) status and specifying whether contributions to them are tax deductible.
