How do I obtain recognition of tax-exempt status for organizations formed to provide relief to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks?
The IRS has established an expedited review process for new organizations that apply for recognition of tax-exempt status by filing IRS Form 1023 and writing “Disaster Relief, Sept. 11, 2001” at the top of the form. More information about applying for charitable tax-exempt status is available from the IRS toll-free number for exempt organizations determinations, 877-829-5500.
