Dan Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I am looking at a Form W-3 "Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements." In the section, kind of Employer is has a number of boxes and you are to choose one. If you are doing this for a local church, which box should you check? Should it be the box that says "None Apply" or the box 501c non govt? How do you choose? What information must you know before you choose either of those boxes? Again, this is for a local church. What does the letter c stand for in back of the number 501? Looking for your soon reply. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Ron Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Churches are 501c3 organizations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Ron Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 501c simply refers to the IRS code section for non-profits. This is the first year that this has been requested on the W-3 and I don't know the reason for that. My work is primarily with churches and ministers. I have no problem with checking the box. A church is 501©3. Other entities that would fit the 501© are nonprofit civic organizations, social clubs that are non-profit, fraternal societies, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
