Eric Upon receipt, exemption applications accompanied the required user fee are initially separated into four categories: (1) those that can approved immediately based the information submitted, (2) those that need minor additional information resolved, (3) those that are submitted obsolete forms not include the items specified the Procedural Checklist (at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs -tege/f1023_procedural_checklist_0606.pdf), and (4) those that require development. application lls within one the first three categories, the applicant will receive either its determination letter request for additional information, via phone, fax, letter, within approximately days the date the application was submitted. Applications falling within the fourth category must assigned agent for further development. Due staffing levels, applications falling into this category cannot always immediately assigned These applications can experience some wait time befo assignment agent. The number applications awaiting assignment agents has increased due, part, the influx applications from large organizations seeking have their exempt status retroactively reinstated after being automatica lly revoked pursuant the Pension Protection Act 2006 for failure file annual information returns/notices for three consecutive years. Once case assigned agent, the agent must consider the type organization and the rules applicabl that type organization. Because exemption from federal income tax valuable subsidy, the Internal Revenue Code and accompanying Treasury Regulations impose detailed requirements for qualification for exemption various types entities. agents often have ask the applicant organizations questions and ask for related documents determine whether they satisfy these requirements. For example, under the Code, organizations exempt under section 501(c)(3) (what commonly refer charities) are absolutely forbidden from intervening political campaigns. contrast, organizations exempt under sections 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5) and 501(c)(6) can intervene political campaigns within limits. thus important that agents look the materials used and activities conducted organizations seeking exemption under sections 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5) and 501(c)(6) make sure campaign intervention will within the legal limits. This review often involves back and forth question answer process between the IRS and the applicant. -----Original Message ----From: Williams Floyd Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 8:33 To: Flax Nikole Hall Eric Cc: Norton William Subject: Re: Talking points for meeting with Rep.
