How much does the IRS Form 1023 cost in 2025?
If you’ve made it this far, you should be proud of yourself and get ready for a vacation. We have one last section and you are done. The last section is the Form 1023 user fees.
As of 2025, the user fee for an organization filing the IRS Form 1023 is $600.
The user fee for Form 1023-EZ is $275, but if you’re basing your decision on the filing fee of the two different form 1023 applications, you should read the page where I explain the qualifications for the form 1023EZ first.
The fee for the Form 1023 (EZ and the long version) must be paid through www.pay.gov when the application is filed. Checks and money orders are not accepted anymore by the IRS.
Payment can be made directly from your nonprofit organization’s bank account or by credit/debit card. Please beware that the IRS may change the Form 1023 Application Fee at any time without notice, but the good news is that when you login to your pay.gov account, the application fee is shown right on the form.
