"This is a common-sense approach that will help reduce lengthy process- ing delays for small tax- exempt groups and ulti- mately larger organizations as well," said IRS Commis- sioner John Koskinen. "The change cuts paperwork for these charitable groups and speeds application process- ing so they can focus on their important work." The new Form 1023-EZ, available today on IRS.gov, is three pages long, com- pared with the standard 26- page Form 1023. Most small organizations, including as many as 70 percent of all applicants, qualify to use the new streamlined form. Most organizations with gross receipts of $50,000 or less and assets of $250,000 or less are eligible. "Previously, all of these groups went through the same lengthy application process — regardless of size," Koskinen said. "It didn't matter if you were a small soccer or gardening club or a major research organization. This process created needlessly long de- lays for groups, which didn't help the groups, the taxpay- ing public or the IRS." The change will allow the IRS to speed the approval process for smaller groups and free up resources to review applications from larger, more complex or- ganizations while reduc- ing the application back- log. Currently, the IRS has more than 60,000 501(c)(3) applications in its backlog, with many of them pending for nine months. Following feedback this spring from the tax com- munity and those working with charitable groups, the IRS refined the 1023-EZ pro- posal for today's announce- ment, including revising the $50,000 gross receipts threshold down from an ear- lier figure of $200,000. "We believe that many small organizations will be able to complete this form without creating major compliance risks," Koski- nen said. "Rather than us- ing large amounts of IRS re- sources up front reviewing complex applications during a lengthy process, we believe the streamlined form will al- low us to devote more com- pliance activity on the back end to ensure groups are ac- tually doing the charitable work they apply to do." The new EZ form must be filed online. The instructions include an eligibility check- list organizations must com- plete before filing the form. The Form 1023-EZ must be filed using pay.gov, and a $400 user fee is due at the time the form is submit- ted. Further details on the new Form 1023-EZ applica- tion process can be found in Revenue Procedure 2014- 40, posted today on IRS.gov. There are more than a million 501(c)(3) organiza- tions recognized by the IRS. IRS Small charities get new shorter form DAILY NEWS PHOTO The Daily News building and property on Diamond Avenue is being sold and the newspaper plans to move into a smaller building once a sale is imminent. The Daily News build- ing at 545 Diamond Ave. has been listed for sale by Coldwell Banker/C&C Properties, as the news- paper plans to move into a smaller building better suited to its smaller staff size. "The 17,000-square-foot facility is much more room than we need," says pub- lisher Greg Stevens. Printing of the Daily News has been performed by its sister newspaper, The Enterprise-Record in Chico, for more than a de- cade. Production staff was eliminated or repurposed when the Daily News press and mailroom equipment was sold. The former press room and newspaper storage warehouse are used as general storage for other newspaper operations in the north state. Digital production of the daily and the compa- ny's increased focus on on- line, among other changes and challenges, has fur- ther reduced staff size in recent years. Total staff in all depart- ments is 19 today, com- pared to more than 40 about six years ago. "We will start a search for new right-sized facili- ties in Red Bluff once the sale of our building is im- minent," Stevens said, "hopefully returning the Daily News to downtown Red Bluff." Coldwell Banker's Eliz- abeth Soder is the listing broker and agent for the sale of the building and property.
