Legal vs tax
State nonprofit + IRS exemption are two statuses. Operating as a nonprofit without exemption is still a taxpayer.
Liability
Unchanged by the IRS letter. Governance and insurance still matter.
Default federal tax
tax exempt
Other federal options
—
Formation / maintenance
Application, public-support or purpose tests, and ongoing 990 filings if recognized.
Public-record notes
Exemption increases public reporting. It is the opposite of a privacy structure.
Succession
Exempt purpose and asset lock; no equity succession.
Investor fit
None.
