 LegalZoom makes it fast and easy to incorporate your non-profit. Our team of specialists handles all the details-from start to finish. The following is a detailed description of the LegalZoom Non-Profit Incorporation process.
-
-
After we receive your payment, our specialists review your information for completeness and common mistakes, and prepare your Articles of Incorporation.
-
In some states, we may not be able to sign the Articles of Incorporation on your behalf. Instead, we will deliver them to you for signature. Once your materials are submitted, the document review period will vary depending on the state where you file. Non-expedited orders typically take about 20 to 35 business days to complete. Express Gold orders are completed in 7-10 business days.
-
For your convenience, we can prepare your Tax Identification Number application for self-filing. Or, to make it even easier for you, we will obtain your Federal Tax Identification Number on your behalf, for an additional fee.
-
Your non-profit corporation becomes active when the Secretary of State accepts your Articles of Incorporation. When we receive the filed Articles, we will deliver them to you, along with your complete LegalZoom Non-Profit package. Your package include bylaws, organizational minutes, stock certificates, and a corporate seal and deluxe customized corporate binder (for standard and gold packages).
-
If you requested LegalZoom to prepare an Application for Tax ID that you will file, an officer of your non-profit must sign the application before submitting it to the appropriate state agency.
-
An officer of the company will need to sign the Application for Tax Identification Number, and each stockholder will need to sign the S Corporation Election form.
-
For an additional fee, LegalZoom will also prepare your 501(c)(3) application for Tax Exempt status with the IRS.
