IRS Updates Procedures For Obtaining Non-Profit Determinations

The Internal Revenue Service today published Rev. Proc. 2010-9 (Jan. 11, 2010), updating the procedures for issuing of determination letters and rulings under Sections 501 of the Internal Revenue Code on the exempt status of non-profit organizations. This includes religious organizations applying for non-profit status. The major change instituted in this revision is the centralization of the responsibility for processing applications in the Exempt Organizations Determinations office in Cincinnati, Ohio. Key district offices no longer exist.
