California Do Your Own Nonprofit

Author's Note on May 1, 2020: IRS changed everything in 2020 and now this book is out of date. However, the new one with the new information, forms and procedures is available. It is the 4th edition. Kept the price the same as 3rd edition although 4th edition has over 50 more pages of information. ISBN: 978-1-63308-533-6
This book includes up to the minute coverage (last update was July 10, 2015), including IRS Form 1023-EZ that became effective July 1, 2014.
AUTHOR'S NOTE ADDED March 18, 2015: California Secretary of State forms ARTS-PB (public benefit or charity), ARTS-RE (religious) and ARTS-MU (mutual benefit such as a VFW or American Legion-type organization) now include mandatory IRS clauses. California wants you to use their forms instead now, so use them instead of the Articles of Incorporation in this book. An update is in work, but Kitty wanted you to know now so you would get approved right away, and this note was the fastest way to get the info out pending the update in progress. All other information in the book is up to date and valid, just that one thing has changed.
Designed in logical order, you can get most of the process completed in a weekend if you get serious about it. It couldn't be easier or faster. Clear your calendar, roll up your sleeves and get to work. Success is just ahead!
