Church Planning Filiberto Sverchek

Churches, by definition, are already nonprofit organizations. ... Currently, because of the separation of church and state in the US, churches are not required to submit a 990; so registering with the IRS will change the church's status and the church will be required to follow the rules of all 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
