Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. In Episode 87, Cynthia Rowland covers the rules that apply to a new charitable organization that wants expedited review of its application for recognition of exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service.

The IRS expects to receive 135,000 to 140,000 determination requests in 2024, and most of those requests will take more than six months to be processed.

New organizations often need that determination letter in order to start fundraising, and six months or more is a serious damper on the ability to launch new entities.

This episode will cover the required procedures to follow if an organization wants the IRS to let it jump to the front of the line.
