Federal & Missouri Church Tax Exemptions

I run a brand-new online ministry and need a seasoned specialist to shepherd us from “idea” to full tax-exempt status at both the federal level and here in Missouri.

What I have now
• No paperwork, no EIN, no prior filings—everything must be built from the ground up.

What I need
• 501(c)(3) recognition for a Church or Religious Institution.
• Missouri sales-tax and property-tax exemptions, plus confidence that we meet every Missouri compliance requirement.
• Clear, proactive communication at each milestone so I always understand where we are in the process and what comes next.

Deliverables
1. Complete, submission-ready IRS package (Form 1023 or 1023-EZ, narrative, schedules, cover letter).
2. Confirmation of EIN and properly drafted organizing documents.
3. Filed and approved Missouri sales-tax exemption application.
4. Filed and approved Missouri property-tax exemption application.
5. Compliance checklist specific to Missouri churches, highlighting any ongoing filing or reporting duties.
6. Copies of all filings, receipts, and determination letters delivered in PDF format.

Acceptance criteria
• IRS determination letter granting 501(c)(3) status.
• State letters or certificates confirming both exemptions.
• All guidance and documentation written in plain English so our small team can maintain compliance without confusion.

If you have a proven track record securing church exemptions and can keep me updated in straightforward language, I’m ready to begin right away.
