501(c)(3) status entitles a corporation to tax exempt status as a charitable organization under the U. S. Internal Revenue Code.
Yes, they can.
See link http://www.irs.gov/publications/p557/ch03.html
They must meet all the criteria for a charitable organization prior to filing for exempt status.
The benefit to getting 501c3 status is the ability to accept charitable contributions. I am not familiar with a nonprofit LLC. There has been a movement in the past few years to create a hybrid of for profit and non profits called an L3C, low profit limited liability corporation.
Yes, public schools do not have 501(c)(3) status because they are considered government entities and are tax-exempt under a different section of the tax code.
No, 501c3 are documents filed with the IRS for a Non Profit Corporations' tax exempt status once the Corporation has been filed with the Secretary of states office. Articles of incorporation are documents filed with the secretary of states office to create the corporation.
Public high schools being classified as 501c3 organizations can bring benefits such as eligibility for tax-exempt status, ability to receive donations and grants, and increased transparency and accountability in financial matters.
Yes, a school can be a 501(c)(3) organization if it meets the requirements set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax-exempt status.
Public school districts being classified as 501c3 organizations allows them to receive tax-exempt status, which means they don't have to pay certain taxes. This can help them save money and allocate more resources towards education and student programs.
Churches should not be 501(c)(3) organizations because it can limit their freedom to speak out on political issues without risking their tax-exempt status.
I don't think anyone outside of the administration of JW's or the IRS could answer such a question. If you read over the requirements of 501C3 status, it outlines that it has to be a non-profit organization, not involved with any political activities such as lobbying for a certain political candidate or cause. Jehovah's Witnesses certainly meet those requirements. Whether JW's fall under this classification, or because of some other criteria fall under a different tax-exempt status, it would be unknown by parties outside of the two previously mentioned.
Yes, a 501c7 organization can donate to a 501c3 organization, but the donation may have restrictions and tax implications.
