Tax Exempt Application Fee Change
The application fee will increase for all applications to the IRS for tax-exempt status postmarked after January 3, 2010. Charitable, religious, educational, scientific, or literary organizations whose gross annual receipts are $10,000 or less will see their fees increase to $400. Larger organizations will pay $850.
In Kafka-esque fashion, the fees will change a second time in 2010. Once a web-based software called Cyber Assistant is available, fees for all organizations regardless of size will decrease to $200 as long as applications are filed on-line. No word yet on when the web application will be active.
