IRS Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations

To be a religious organization under section 501(d) you do NOT have to submit an application form. You DO need to file form 1065 each year. You can NOT take tax deductible contributions UNLESS the "charitable fund" meets 501(3) and 508(a).

 

If you are a non profit organization under IRS Section 501(d)(Religious Organization) you must make it known that donations to your organization are not tax deductible for those who donate. That is, unless you are eligible to take tax deductible money...outlined by Section 170(c).

 

Section 170(c) decides if cash or land given to an organization is a gift or a contribution to your cause.

United States Government's Definition of a Charitable Contribution:

For purposes of this section, the term “charitable contribution” means a contribution or gift to or for the use of — 2) A corporation, trust, or community chest, fund, or foundation — (B) organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition (but only if no part of its activities involve the provision of athletic facilities or equipment), or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals;

And....charitable contributions are allowed as deductions....if verified under regulations set by the Secretary....which pretty much gives the U.S. Government the power to decide on the spot if the money given to you is tax deductible or not.

Section 508(a) is a notice of requirement
