Can I form a 501c3 Non-Profit LLC?
Can an LLC qualify for a 501c3 tax exemption determination?
Yes and no. "501c3" is a tax designation granted by the IRS to qualifying non-profit entities. The most typical type of non-profit entity is a "Non-Profit Corporation," which is a specific type of entity that you can form in any state. Non-Profit Corporations can be granted 501c3 status by the IRS. The problem is that there is currently no such entity as a "Non-Profit LLC," and as such an LLC cannot itself obtain 501c3 status.
However, if you're dead set on having an LLC as part of a non-profit organization, there is a workaround if all of the following are true:
- undefined

If all of those requirements are met, then charitable donations to the LLC will be considered charitable donations to the Non-Profit Corporation and tax-deductible through the Non-Profit Corporation's 501c3 status.
