The actual product

Exact labels, prepared values, attestation choices, NTEE code, leaders, and signature details.

FAQ
Do you submit Form 1023-EZ for me?+
No. You review and submit the official eForm through Pay.gov. The paid product prepares the answers and guides you through every screen.
Is the prepared PDF enough by itself?+
It is useful for your records, but the interactive Pay.gov companion is the easier filing experience. Both contain the same prepared answers.
Can you guarantee IRS approval?+
No. No truthful service can guarantee approval. The IRS may request more information, and approval depends on accurate facts and actual compliance.
What if I do not qualify for Form 1023-EZ?+
The questionnaire stops before payment and explains that the full Form 1023 is required.
Do I also pay the IRS?+
Yes. The current Form 1023-EZ user fee is $275 and is paid directly to Pay.gov, separate from the Easy 501(c)(3) service price.
Can I start before I have an EIN?+
Yes. You can build your filing plan and work through the questionnaire without an EIN. You must add the EIN before the readiness checks pass, checkout becomes available, or the final prepared guide unlocks.
