The Learning Vine, a homeschool organization in North Aurora, IL, just received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS.
This group had originally applied for tax exempt status as a 501(c)(7) Social Club on their own. The IRS held up their application for a year and then informed them that they should be filing for tax exempt status as a 501(c)(3) educational organization.
Confused? So were the leaders at The Learning Vine. That’s when they contacted HomeschoolCPA.com
I was happy to help this group become tax exempt and continue serving homeschoolers in IL!
