Get Form Nfp 112.20(rev. Dec. 2003) Articles Of Dissolution General ...

As required by law, a nonprofit organization that is ceasing existence is required to transfer all remaining assets to another tax-exempt organization or to the government. It is unlawful to give any property away to individuals – including board members, volunteers, staff, or beneficiaries.

Pennsylvania's Nonprofit Corporation Law ("NCL") provides for voluntary dissolution through any of three statutory methods: action by the directors followed by a vote of the members. petition by certain members, board action, and a vote of the members; or. if there are no members, action by the directors.

Most nonprofits are 501(c)(3) organizations, which means they are formed for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes and are eligible for federal and state tax exemptions. To create a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, first you need to form a California nonprofit corporation.

Use form FTB 3502 to request abatement of unpaid qualified taxes, interest, and penalties for the taxable years of a qualified nonprofit corporation that certifies it is not doing business and is not able to dissolve through the California SOS normal dissolution process.

A 501(c)(3) organization must file for dissolution first with its state and then send the approved dissolution documentation to the IRS. It is important for an organization to check with its state Attorney General's office first to ensure that the specific procedures and documentation are submitted.

For federal tax purposes, you'll need to file IRS Form 990 or IRS Form 990-EZ. You must include a completed Schedule N (Liquidation, Termination, Dissolution, or Significant Disposition of Assets), as well as copies of your certificate of dissolution and resolution to wind up and dissolve.

1. Members may authorize dissolution by their unanimous written consent. This does not require any action of the board of directors and does not require a membership meeting.
