There are also local laws that are too often overlooked but no less laws that must be complied with, as there are Regulatory oversite that ends up in Slap in the Wrist results most often and when necessary turned over to the DOJ.We all have different approaches and POV's on this conversation.

That's exactly how it works, and the only way it works. Remember that the US is a federal system with two pertinent tiers of laws -- state and federal.
Organizations are created under state law, not under federal law (with extremely rare exceptions). Federal tax exemption is handled (by definition) at the federal level. A not-for-profit organization must first incorporate under state law, and then proceed to seek a federal tax exemption as a non-profit under 501(c)(3) (or other relevant subsections for particular types of organizations).
In other words, an organization cannot apply for federal tax exemption under 501(c)(3) until it has incorporated as a non-profit under the law of a state of the U.S. [While there are organizations other than corporations that may qualify for federal tax exemptions, such as trusts and "community chests," they are not relevant to this discussion.]On Thu, Jan 8, 2015 at 8:02 AM, Carrie <carriedev@gmail.com> wrote:Thank you Bruce. But according to Ed 's California corporation registration number they have registered already as a ca corp. please explain how this occurs being a corp on CA at the same time registered as a non profit w the IRS ?
