If you are filing a non-profit corporation, please contact the Internal Revenue Service for their requirements. In most cases, this federal agency requires certain language (501 c 3) be included in the Certificate of Incorporation. If this wording is not present when you apply to the IRS for the tax-exempt status, they will possibly reject it and you may have to file another document to correct this and pay additional fees. The sample form our Division provides does not allow space to include this language so you will have to use our form as a guideline and draw up your own Certificate of Incorporation and insert the IRS language. The Delaware Division of Corporations encourages you to contact the IRS at 1-877-829-5500 (toll-free number) or on-line at www.irs.gov/charities and file your documents accordingly.
