What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
It seems like a simple question, but I want to be sure about this before our organization starts using incorrect wording in fliers and such.
Our organization is registered with the state of Ohio as a non-profit corporation. Can we use the designation of being a 501 non-profit since we have not yet registered with the IRS? I know that when you become a non-profit with the IRS they then give you the 501 c3 designation.
Or do we need to call the organization a charity until we get 501 c3 from the IRS?
Is there such a thing as a 501 only registered with the state?
Hope that makes sense and thank you!
