Can’t say enough
We started our church tax exemption journey without much experience and knowledge and came across this website and decided to try a phone consultation and it was the best decision We made. Besides the fact that this website is full of information for the common person like myself, the owner of the website was very kind, very approachable and very knowledgeable.. a rare find. From the members of our church- IDCM la famila-we thank you.
Making the intimidating paperwork understandable
We have success on the 501c3 retroactive reinstatement. I received it in this morning’s mail and have attached it. Not being an accountant, and our accountant having passed away, I have to admit I was intimidated by the IRS retroactive reinstatement paperwork. Your website was extremely detailed & helpful. Your review and the time on the phone were invaluable. I just let my new accounting firm know about you as well!
If/when a private foundation needs advance approval from the IRS for distributing scholarships
The information Chris provided was very helpful and reassuring! Much appreciated! I wish I had known about this website several years ago, which would have saved our private foundation hundreds of dollars.
The Right Guidance
I could not have done this without Chris and his amazing guidance. First, he provides so many examples and templates that helped us make sure we had set ourselves up properly in the first place. Secondly, his help in interpreting the questions on Form 1023 were invaluable. He knows what the IRS is really asking, and how the questions fit together to the overall picture! He also read our documents and offered clarity in how to explain everything. I would highly recommend using this website, and asking for Chris to review your submission before sending it in! We submitted our application on Oct. 17, 2022 and got our Letter of Determination status on Oct. 26, 2022! Just incredible! Thank you so much Chris, and your team!
That was fast...
Years ago when my daughter had her wisdom teeth pulled, in her doped up stage on the ride home she kept saying, “Mom. That was fast. Mom. That was fast.”
Well, thanks to this amazingly comprehensive and generous website, I submitted my 501c3 application the first week of October 2022 and had IRS approval on October 21!! Wow. That was fast. I’m stunned and very grateful to Chris for this excellent guide. Read and reread the pages and go for it.
Amazing, Prompt, Attentive
I can’t think of anything negative to say about Chris. He is super nice and very helpful. He is extremely knowledgeable! I would have been totally lost without his help. I highly recommend him and his services. I honestly don’t know how he does it. Even with his busy schedule, he finds the time to reach out and help. Thank you, Chris, for all of your assistance. I will keep you posted on my progress. Thank you again!!!
Chris is very helpful & detailed.
Chris was very helpful & detailed with the specific questions I had. I’ve emailed him a few times after our consultation & he emailed back. As he said, he does answer e-mails.

Chris was so good to work with – he SHARES information easily, provides excellent guidance – from his website, to email exchange, to phone call/review. He is super smart, responsive, and clear. He wants you to succeed for sure.
Thank you so much, Chris – we could not have done this without your help!
We Got Approved in 9 Days with Form1023.org's Assistance!
August 22, 2022 – After utilizing Form1023.org’s consultation services, we filed Form 1023 with the IRS to apply for federal tax exemption 501(c)(3) status. August 30, 2022 – Form 1023 approved for 501(c)(3) status
’nuff said! Thanks Chris!
501(c)(3) approval in only 6 weeks!
Chris,
In an unbelievable turn of event, we were able to receive our 501(c)(3) approval in only 6 weeks! Thank you so much for your help, direction, and suggestions. We couldn’t have done it without you. I hope you and yours are well!
All the best
Received 501(c)3 exemption in record time
We were elated to receive our 501(c)3 letter of exemption on August 12, 2022. The application was filed in April, 2022. We had expected a minimum of 6 months. The IRS 1023 website was reporting that they were working on applications submitted prior to November 3, 2021.
Our application was processed without requiring any amendments, thanks to the careful and professional assistance of Chris Sorbi.
Three Weeks From Submittal to Approval - Pay Attention, do what is suggested
We had no money to pay someone to help us form our nonprofit and obtain 501(c)(3) status. We had a good idea and $100 so we donated to get the template package with the 40 minutes of consulting. Within 3 weeks and about 100 hours of reading and typing we had a legally formed California Nonprofit Corporation, EIN, CA Secretary of State and DOJ clearance, web site and submitted our form 1023 to the IRS. At the end of three weeks we had our approval letter. With all the fees and the pittance to form1023.org the whole thing cost under $1,000., $600 of it was the IRS fee for the 1023 review. We did not have an expediting letter. We followed Chris’s instructions and suggestions, honed our story, typed like mad people, and it worked. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Great experience!
The 1023 application is daunting to say the least. The materials Chris provided, as well as the personal feedback given, have alleviated my stress during this process. We are going to be submitting our 1023 application and supporting documents very soon, and I have great confidence that we have been prepared for success through the resources at 1023.org.
My non-profit was Approved!
I was about to spend thousands of dollars for someone to prepare and file my non-profit exemption paperwork for me until someone encouraged me to take my time and do it on my own. I had no clue and just started doing research and I feel God lead me to this site. I took my time and followed the instructions by the letter and submitted my application to the IRS. I am happy to report 6 months later (I didn’t expedite) I received my determination letter from the IRS designating my organization as a legitimate 501c3! I could not have done it without the great information from this site! God bless you for providing this wealth of information and I truly can not thank you enough!
