retirement benefits to a class of

engage in exterior maintenance of private

employees may qualify as a social welfare  
organization under section 501(c)(4).  
A homeowners' association that isn't  
exempt under section 501(c)(4) and that is  
a condominium management association,  
a residential real estate management  
association, or a timeshare association  
generally can elect under the provisions of  
section 528 to receive certain tax benefits  
that, in effect, permit it to exclude its  
exempt function income from its gross  
income. To elect these benefits, file a  
properly completed and timely filed  
Nonprofit operation. You must submit  
evidence that you are organized and will  
be operated on a nonprofit basis.  
However, such evidence, including the  
fact that you are organized under a state  
law relating to nonprofit corporations,  
won't in itself establish a social welfare  
purpose.  
Tax treatment of donations.  
Contributions to civic leagues or other  
section 501(c)(4) organizations generally  
aren't deductible as charitable  
contributions for federal income tax  
purposes. They may be deductible as  
trade or business expenses, if ordinary  
and necessary in the conduct of the  
taxpayer's business and not used for  
political or legislative activities. Donations  
to volunteer fire companies are deductible  
on the donor's federal income tax return,  
but only if made for exclusively public  
purposes.  
Social welfare. To establish that you are  
operated primarily to promote social  
welfare, your application must show you  
will operate primarily to further the  
common good and general welfare of the  
people of the community, such as by  
bringing about civic betterment and social  
improvements.

General Instructions  
For more information on social welfare  
organizations, see Life Cycle of a Social  
Social security number. Don't enter  
social security numbers on this form or  
any attachments because the IRS is  
required to disclose approved exemption  
applications and information returns.  
Documents subject to disclosure include  
supporting information filed with the form  
and correspondence with the IRS related  
to the application.  
Examples. An organization that  
restricts the use of its facilities to  
Specific Organizations  
employees of selected corporations and  
their guests is primarily benefiting a  
private group rather than the community. It  
therefore doesn't qualify as a section  
501(c)(4) organization. Similarly, an  
organization formed to represent  
Volunteer fire companies and  
homeowners’ associations should include  
specific information in their applications to  
support their requests for recognition of  
exemption under section 501(c)(4).  
Volunteer fire companies. If you wish to  
obtain exemption as a volunteer fire  
company or similar organization, you  
should submit evidence that your  
members are actively engaged in  
firefighting and similar disaster assistance,  
whether you actually own the firefighting  
equipment, and whether you provide any  
assistance for your members, such as  
death and medical benefits in case of  
injury to them. If you don’t have an  
independent social purpose, such as  
providing recreational facilities for  
members, you may be exempt under  
section 501(c)(3). In this event, you may  
want to file Form 1023 or Form 1023-EZ, if  
eligible.  
member-tenants of an apartment complex  
doesn't qualify, since its activities benefit  
the member-tenants and not all tenants in  
the community. However, an organization  
formed to promote the legal rights of all  
tenants in a particular community may  
qualify under section 501(c)(4) as a social  
welfare organization.  
“You” and “us.” Throughout these  
instructions and Form 1024-A, the terms  
“you” and “your” refer to the organization  
that is applying for tax-exempt status. The  
terms “us” and “we” refer to the IRS.  
Answers  
Form 1024-A asks you to answer a series  
of questions and provide information to  
assist us in determining if you meet the  
requirements for tax exemption under  
section 501(c)(4). Answer questions  
completely. If you believe you previously  
answered the question, you may refer to  
your previous answer.  
Political activity. Promoting social  
welfare doesn't include direct or indirect  
participation or intervention in political  
campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to  
any candidate for public office. However, if  
your application demonstrates you are  
organized primarily to promote social  
welfare, you can obtain exemption even if  
you participate legally in some political  
activity on behalf of or in opposition to  
candidates for public office.

understand the specific activities you  
undertake to accomplish your section  
501(c)(4) exempt purpose(s).  
Social or recreational activity. If social  
activities will be your primary purpose, you  
shouldn't file an application for exemption

operated for the benefit of all the residents  
of the community. The term community  
generally refers to a geographical unit  
recognizable as a governmental  
subdivision, unit, or district thereof.  
Whether a particular association meets  
the requirement of benefiting a community  
depends on the facts and circumstances  
of each case. Even if an area represented  
by an association isn't a community, the  
association can still qualify for exemption if  
its activities benefit a community.

Foreign organizations are those that were  
created in countries other than the U.S., its  
territories, or its possessions. Foreign  
organizations may apply for tax-exempt  
status on income earned in the U.S. in the  
same way that domestic organizations  
apply for exempt status. See Language  
and currency requirements, earlier.

Type of organization and copy of organizing document. Select your type of organization and, before submitting the form, upload a copy of  
your organizing document (including any amendments) as part of the required attachment.  
Corporation. A corporation is an entity organized under a federal or state statute, or a statute of a federally recognized Indian tribal or Alaskan  
native government  
Copy of organizing document (articles of incorporation and any amendments). A corporation's organizing document is its articles of  
incorporation.  
If you formed under state statute, your articles of incorporation (and any amendments) must show certification of filing. This means your  
articles show evidence that on a specific date they were filed with and approved by an appropriate state authority. The document must be an  
exact copy of what is on file with your state.  
If you don't have a copy of your articles of incorporation showing evidence of having been filed and approved by an appropriate state official,  
you may submit a substitute copy of your articles of incorporation. This substitute copy may be handwritten, typed, printed, or otherwise  
reproduced. It must be accompanied by a declaration, signed by an officer authorized to sign for you, that it is a complete and correct copy of  
the articles of incorporation and that it contains all the powers, principles, purposes, functions, and other provisions by which you currently  
govern yourself.  
Limited Liability Company. A limited liability company (LLC) that files its own exemption application is treated as a corporation rather than a  
partnership.  
Copy of organizing document (articles of organization and operating agreement (if adopted) and any amendments). Instead of  
articles of incorporation, an LLC's organizing document is its state-approved articles of organization. If it has adopted an operating agreement,  
then this document is also part of its organizing document.  
If you formed under state statute, your articles of organization (and any amendments) must show certification of filing. This means your articles  
show evidence that on a specific date they were filed with and approved by an appropriate state authority. The document must be an exact  
copy of what is on file with your state.  
If you don't have a copy of your articles of organization showing evidence of having been filed and approved by an appropriate state official,  
you may submit a substitute copy of your articles of organization. This substitute copy may be handwritten, typed, printed, or otherwise  
reproduced. It must be accompanied by a declaration, signed by an officer authorized to sign for you, that it is a complete and correct copy of  
the articles of organization and that it contains all the powers, principles, purposes, functions, and other provisions by which you currently  
govern yourself.  
TIP If you’re an LLC and want to be treated as a disregarded entity by a tax-exempt member, don’t file an exemption application.  
Unincorporated Association. An unincorporated association formed under state law must have at least two members who have signed a  
written document that creates an entity with a specifically defined purpose.  
Copy of organizing document (articles of association or constitution and any amendments). Your organizing document must include  
the name of the organization, its purpose, the date the document was adopted, and the signatures of at least two individuals.  
If your copy doesn't contain the proper signatures and date of adoption, you may submit a written declaration that states your copy is a  
complete and accurate copy of the signed and dated original. Your declaration should clearly indicate the original date of adoption.  
TIP Bylaws may be considered an organizing document only if they include the required elements listed above.  
Trust. A trust may be formed by a trust agreement or declaration of trust. A trust may also be formed through a will. Generally, a trust must be  
funded with property, such as money, real estate, or personal property.  
Copy of organizing document (trust agreement/declaration of trust or will and any amendments). Your trust agreement (and any  
amendments) must be signed by at least one trustee.  
If your trust agreement copy isn’t signed, you may submit a written declaration that states your copy is a complete and accurate copy of the  
signed and dated original. Your declaration should clearly indicate the original date that it was signed.  
For trusts created by a will, include a copy of the death certificate or a statement indicating the date of death, and a copy of the relevant  
portions of the will.  
CAUTION! If your trust agreement continues to provide for distributions for non-charitable interests, you won’t qualify for tax-exempt status.

in New York, but incorporated under Massachusetts law, enter Massachusetts.  
For purposes of completing this application, you’re formed under the laws of a foreign country if you aren't formed under the laws of the U.S.,  
its territories and possessions, federally recognized Indian tribal or Alaska native governments, or the District of Columbia.  
Bylaws are generally the internal rules and regulations of an organization. If you have bylaws, upload a current copy (including any  
amendments). Bylaws don't need to be signed unless they are your organizing document as described in the instructions for Line 1 above.

Part III. Your Activities  
REMINDER Answer all questions in this part as they pertain to your past, present, and planned activities.  
1
Describe completely and in detail your past, present, and planned activities. Your narrative description of activities should be thorough and  
accurate because we determine whether you qualify for 501(c)(4) exempt status based on the information in your application.  
For each past, present, or planned activity, include information that answers the following questions:  
What is the activity?  
Who conducts the activity?  
What percentage of your total time is allocated to the activity? (Combined time percentages should add up to 100%)  
How is the activity funded (for example, donations, fees, etc.) and what percentage of your overall expenses is allocated to this activity?  
How does the activity further your exempt purposes?

National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) code. An NTEE code is a three-character series of letters and numbers that generally  
describe a type of organization. Enter the code from the list of NTEE codes, located in the Appendix A, that best describes you. For more  
information and more detailed definitions of these codes developed by the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS), visit the Urban  
Institute, NCCS website at nccs.urban.org.  
TIP NTEE codes are also used for purposes other than identification of organizations described in section 501(c)(4). Therefore, all codes in  
the list don’t necessarily correspond to a section 501(c)(4) purpose.

Describe any money or time (whether volunteer or paid) you spent or will spend attempting to influence the selection, nomination, election, or  
appointment of any person to any federal, state, or local public office or to an office in a political organization.  
If you (including any predecessor organization) lost your section 501(c)(3) status due to carrying on propaganda or otherwise attempting to  
influence legislation or due to participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public  
office, then you will not be treated as an organization described in section 501(c)(4). This rule will not apply if you were a church or  
church-affiliated organization described in section 501(h)(5) in the tax year immediately preceding the tax year in which section 501(c)(3)  
status was lost.

You are a successor to another organization if you:  
Took or will take over activities previously conducted by another organization,  
Took or will take over 25% or more of the fair market value of the net assets of another organization, or  
Were established upon the conversion of an organization from for-profit to nonprofit status.

budgets or expenditures.  
You and the recipient organization were created at approximately the same time and by the same persons.  
You and the recipient organization operate in a coordinated manner with respect to facilities, programs, employees, or other activities.  
Persons who exercise substantial influence over you also exercise substantial influence over the recipient organization.

Part IV  
Part IV, Line  
Part IV. Compensation and Other Financial Arrangements  
1
Answer “Yes” if you do or will pay compensation to your officers, directors, trustees, employees, members, or independent contractors.  
1a  
A conflict of interest arises when a person in a position of authority over an organization, such as a director, officer, or manager, may benefit  
personally from a decision he or she could make. Adoption of a conflict of interest policy is not required to obtain tax-exempt status. However,  
by adopting a policy, you will be choosing to put in place procedures that will help you avoid the possibility that those in positions of authority  
may receive an inappropriate benefit.  
Reasonable compensation is the amount that would ordinarily be paid for like services by like organizations under like circumstances as of the  
date the compensation arrangement is made. Establishing and documenting reasonable compensation is important because excessive  
compensation may result in excise taxes on both the individual and you. In addition, excessive compensation may jeopardize your tax-exempt  
status.  
1b  
A fixed payment means a payment that is either a set dollar amount or fixed through a specific formula where the amount doesn’t depend on  
discretion. For example, a base salary of $200,000 that is adjusted annually based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index is a fixed  
payment.  
A nonfixed payment means a payment that depends on discretion. For example, a bonus of up to $100,000 that is based on an evaluation of  
performance by the governing board is a nonfixed payment because the governing body has discretion over whether the bonus is paid and the  
amount of the bonus.  
2
Don’t include purchases or sales of goods and services in your normal course of operations that are available to the general public under  
similar terms and conditions. Answer “Yes” if any of your officers, directors, or trustees:  
Is an officer, director, or trustee in another organization to which you will purchase or sell goods, services, or assets from or to; or  
Possesses more than 35% ownership interest in any organization to which you will purchase or sell goods, services, or assets from or to.  
An arm’s length standard exists where the parties have an adverse (or opposing) interest. For example, a seller wants to sell his goods at the  
highest possible price, while a buyer wants to buy at the lowest possible price. These are adverse interests.  
In negotiating with a person, an adverse interest is assumed if that person is otherwise unrelated to you in the sense of not being in a position  
to exercise substantial influence over you or your affairs. If the person is in a position to exercise substantial influence over your affairs, then an  
arm’s length standard requires additional precautions to eliminate the effect of the relationship.  
Using a conflict of interest policy, information about comparable transactions between unrelated parties, and reliable methods for evaluating  
the transaction, are examples of precautions that would help make the negotiation process equivalent to one between unrelated persons.  
Fair market value is the price at which property or the right to use property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller,  
neither being under any compulsion to buy, sell, or transfer property or the right to use property, and both having reasonable knowledge of  
relevant facts.  
3
Answer “Yes” if any of your officers, directors, or trustees:  
Is an officer, director, or trustee in another organization that has a lease, contract, loan, or other agreement with you; or  
Possesses more than a 35% ownership interest in any organization that has a lease, contract, loan, or other agreement with you.  
For example, answer “Yes,” if one of your directors is an officer for a section 501(c)(3) organization with whom you have a lease for office  
space or if one of your directors owns more than 35% of the voting stock of a corporation to which you made a loan.  
4
5
Indicate if you perform any services for any other organization or individual for which you receive a fee.  
A joint venture is a legal agreement in which the persons jointly undertake a transaction for mutual profit. Generally, each person contributes  
assets and shares risks. Like a partnership, joint ventures can involve any type of business transaction and the persons involved can be  
individuals, groups of individuals, companies, or corporations.

With substantially all (at least 85%) volunteer labor, such as a car wash;  
For the convenience of members, students, patients, officers, or employees, such as a parking lot for a school's students and employees; or  
With substantially all contributed merchandise, such as a thrift store.  
See Pub. 598 for additional information regarding income that isn’t from an unrelated trade or business.  
Gross receipts also includes payment by a governmental unit that may be called a grant but is actually payment for a service or facility for the  
use of the government payer, rather than for the direct benefit of the public.  
Example. The state government gives a conservation group a grant to study the effects of a new sewage treatment plant on an ecologically  
significant woodland area. Although the payment is called a grant, it is actually gross receipts that should be included on Line 9. The payment  
is by a governmental unit (state) for a study for its own use, not for the direct benefit of the general public. A for-profit consulting company could  
have done the study rather than by the tax-exempt conservation group.  
Provide an itemized list of your gross receipts in line 24, describing the sources and amounts of income. For payments by a governmental unit,  
list the payer, the purpose of the payment, and the payment amount.t.

Under fund accounting, an organization segregates its assets, liabilities, and net assets into separate funds according to restrictions on the use  
of certain assets. Each fund is like a separate entity in that it has a self-balancing set of accounts showing assets, liabilities, equity (fund  
balance), income, and expenses. If you don’t use fund accounting, report only the net assets account balances, which include capital stock,  
paid-in capital, retained earnings or accumulated income, and endowment funds.
