Calling the IRS is easiest. If you fill out the form they will have to process it and it takes forever. If you call they give you one right over the phone. It's one of the painless things you can do with the IRS.\n\nHere's the number: 800-829-4933 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM M-F Local time\n\n:)\n\nGood luck!

Many non profits are obligated to prepare a tax document 990. They are by law obligated to give it to anyone that asks and in there you will see their sources of income.

If you're looking for non-profit assistance, I suggest you call this number: 1-866-348-6479. It's an organization called the National Hunger Hotline. They might be able to help you. Take care.

Look at any of your previous annual or quarterly tax returns. anything you receive from IRS or state taxing agency should have this number prominently displayed. if you are a sole proprietorship or you are a new business, it most likely is your SSN

Depends what you'd like to do.\n\nIf you want people to donate money to your group and recieve a tax deduction, you would need to apply for 501(c) status.\n\nIf you just want to form a group and do whatever charitable work, you don't need any type of legal organization.

Sure if you want to go to jail.  You do know that is illegal don't you?  You might can do it and get away with it, but at some point in time the books are going to come back to bite you IF they get audited by Uncle SAM.  Why take that risk?  It would show up sooner or later, and you would be in trouble.  I believe the term for this is racketeering and tax fraud.  You ought to realize any non profit organization is watched by the government very close, and you cannot work under someone Else's exemption.  If all donations were cash, then you could do it, but the minute someone donates a sizable check to your group, you are busted.  My question is this; why don't you just apply for the status by filling the proper papers?  That would be less complex, and it would be legal that way.  Good Luck!!!\nPart 2\nThe best thing to do, is talk to a CPA (certified Public Accountant) and I'm sure they would be able to help you out with the question as far as what you would need to do, and what forms you would need to file.  Since this is what they do, they would have the answer you need.  An alternative would be; contact your state tax office, and request the forms you need.  If you go to your states tax form web site, you will probably find the form or forms you need, and can print them right to your computer.  Unless you are considered a division of the company you want to operate under, and file taxes as a subsidary, don't expect to be able to do this legally.\nI hope this helps.  Good Luck!!!

You can use paid subscription databases such as this:\n\nfreeERISA.com EIN Finder http://www.freeerisa.com/Extras/EINFinder.asp\nknowx.com http://www.knowx.com \n\nIf that doesn't work, for public companies, the EIN (or "IRS No.") is printed on the first page of 10-Ks, 20-Fs and other SEC filings, which you can get on the Internet for free (see the Filings section of "Securities and Exchange Commission"). For private companies, EINs are often included in the company's Dun & Bradstreet report (see "Dun & Bradstreet Reports"), they are often printed on the company's invoices, or you can try searching the FEIN databases on KnowX.com http://knowx.com/ , Westlaw (FEIN-ALL) or Lexis (D&B;FEIN), which uses Dun & Bradstreet data. If the company files with a Secretary of State the EIN may be on its annual report. If the company filed for bankruptcy, the EIN may be on the docket sheet as part the company's address.\n\nFor non-profits, EINs are often included in the the profile on Form 990, available through Guidestar ( http://www.guidestar.org ). In addition, nonprofit EINs are often included in the records in the Lexis EOTEXT file.\n\nFor political parties and other political organizations, EINs are reported on Form 8871, available through the IRS Web site ( http://www.irs.gov/charities/political ). \n\nFor insurance companies, the number should be at the top of their annual financial statement, which you can get if you dig deep enough on the NAIC Web site (http://www.naic.org/cis/).\n\nIf that doesn't work, UCC filings sometimes have EINs, though they usually don't (see also "Uniform Commercial Code").

Establish an Employer Identification Number (EIN) free from the IRS--check with your local Employment Security Office for information, or online.\n\nThen your business has it's own identifying number, not necessarily tied to your Social Security number which will be flagged by the bankruptcy.\n\nGood luck!

Heres a couple websites for you\nhttp://www.firstgov.gov/Business/Nonprofit.shtml\nhttp://www.irs.gov/charities/index.html\n\nI agree with the other poster, check with your bank and see what they can do, but verify with a CPA or ideally a tax accountant (hopefully an alumni!). It can be a major headache, but you don't want to make a mistake in this area either.
