Cost Of Doing Business
The IRS has announced increases in a number of user fees for tax-exempt organizations, effective July 1, 2006.
Specifically of interest, the fee for an initial application for exemption (federal form 1023) for organizations with anticipated annual gross receipts of less than $10,000 will increase from $150 to $300. The fee for organizations with anticipated annual gross receipts of more than $10,000 will increase from $500 to $750. The fee for group exemption will increase from $500 to $900.
These fee increases accompany those which already took effect in February for tax-exempt organization letter ruling fees, which increased fees of $155 to $2,570 to $275 to $8,700.
