Registering To Do Business in Georgia

March 11, 2015

Did you get incorporated in one state and then move your operations?

A nonprofit organization’s tax-exempt status is tied to its incorporation. The IRS decides whether to recognize a nonprofit as tax-exempt under §501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code based on its articles of incorporation and bylaws. If your organization incorporates in one state and obtains its §501(c)(3) status then later decides to move states, the organization should not reincorporate in the new state. The organization should instead maintain its incorporation in the original state (including filing its annual registration and reports) and also register as a foreign corporation in the new state, if required to do so under that state’s law. For more information about registering as a foreign nonprofit corporation in Georgia, please see the article attached.
