Non-Profit Formation
Non-profit formation in Texas is a relatively straightforward process that is routinely done poorly resulting in legal complications. There are many books, articles and instruction manuals that purport to walk you through the process of incorporation step by step, but due to the special tax protection that comes to 501(c)c3 entities under the Internal Revenue Service’s tax code, these corporations come under a great deal of scrutiny. There can be financial consequences if the incorporation is not handled correctly.
Non-profit formation is partly about the notification of and registration with the Secretary of State and the IRS, but it is primarily about the establishment of organizational structure, leadership and membership rights. The business attorneys of Snider Law Firm will help prepare the Articles of Incorporation, suggest standard formatting and language for Bylaws and guide you through the process of creating a structure that will serve your group well.
In addition, the business attorneys of Snider Law Firm can help your organization achieve tax-exempt status by registering with both the IRS and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
