Not-for-profit Corporations do not automatically qualify for exemption from federal taxes. In order
to qualify for exemption, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires that the articles of incorporation contain

Internal Revenue Code or contact the IRS at (800) 829-3676 for a copy of the IRS publication 557 or download
