Deceptive Title and Cover? November 29, 2007
31 out of 40 found this review helpful

You probably think I'm a crazy person considering all the 5-star reviews prior to this one, being mine is so radically different in comparison. It seems to me that more and more companies feel the need to deceive us to make the kind of money they wish to make and I'm really getting tired of it. I hate being deceived and in this case, I feel deceived... royally. br /br /Based on the title and cover of this book (front and back), I expected this book to tell me how to form a nonprofit corporation. The caveat, however, is that it will if we wish to form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. There are a lot of other types of nonprofits which this book doesn't cover to the same extent and the author is well aware of this. How did I discern this? I quote below from page 7 of the book:br /br /"This book has been written specifically for nonprofits that want to qualify for federal income tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.... If you are planning on forming one of... (the) non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, this book can help acquaint you with the process of forming a nonprofit. It will not, however, guide you step-by-step through the process of preparing articles of incorporation and bylaws for your group or the tax exemption applications you will need for your nonprofit."br /br /Is it possible to form a corporation other than a 501(c)(3) nonprofit without articles of incorporation and bylaws? Not from everything I've read to date. The articles of incorporation tell your state agency and everyone else who's interested about the basic particulars of your corporation and the bylaws tell people working for your company of your corporation's policies and procedures. The IRS will want to see both to approve our nonprofit's tax exemption, regardless of the type of nonprofit we choose, as I can tell so far. The IRS requires nonprofits wishing to qualify under section 501(c)(3) to submit their request on IRS Form 1023. Most of the other nonprofit types require IRS Form 1024. Only IRS Form 1023 is on this book's list of included IRS forms even though the form 1024 requirement is detailed as a requirement in their list of "all other" nonprofit categories. br /br /Anybody here see anything on the front or back of this book to give us a clue as to this book's actual, limited coverage as just quoted above from page 7 of the book?br /br /Excuse me while I cool down.br /br /

In brief, this book helped me go from 0 to 60 in working through the non-profit application process. Not only is it very readable, but it offers excellent tips along the way. I've also been impressed that it does more than just help you do the paperwork, but it also helps you think through the who, what, where, when, why and how of your organization---all items that are crucial for long term success. If you are just starting out on this journey, I recommend this resource.

Very comprehensive as usual for Nolo Press over the years. Has all the forms and such plus they do make an effort to explain why setting up a nonprofit corp. is a pain in the butt and you may not want to do it. And, be advised that states can be quite different from one another and no book can cover all the details. -- I know it's kind of a "duh" because of the title, but this book does not cover UN-incorporated nonprofit associations which are easier to set up and probably what I'll do first. I can still get a 501 c 3 number to be tax exempt without all the hassle.

This book was worth the wait. The quality of the book was excellent. I had to wait because the book was on backorder. However, it was worth the wait!
