FAQ

An LLC in Ohio can be for a profit or nonprofit purpose.

Traditionally, when starting a nonprofit, the best choice for legal structure is to form a nonprofit corporation at the state level and to apply for 501(c)(3) tax exemption at the federal level.

An Ohio nonprofit needs a board of directors to oversee operations. The State of Ohio requires nonprofits to have at least three directors on the board. The nonprofit board positions of president, secretary, and treasurer must be filled, but do not need to be held by directors.

The board shall consist of not less than five directors, elected by and from the members, unless the number of members is less than five, in which case, the number of directors may equal the number of members.

Tax Obligations All nonprofit organizations are required to file an annual tax return (generally, IRS Form 990) even when no taxes are due. A nonprofit organization should consult with an attorney and/or tax adviser about its tax obligations.

(A) Except where the law, the articles, or the regulations require action to be authorized or taken by shareholders, all of the authority of a corporation shall be exercised by or under the direction of its directors.

Ohio law consists of the Ohio Constitution, the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Administrative Code. The Constitution is the state's highest law superseding all others. The Revised Code is the codified law of the state while the Administrative Code is a compilation of administrative rules adopted by state agencies.
