The annual Federal and State tax returns of JEXCA NA Inc. for the year ending 2007 were filed with the authorities. Additional documentation required by IRS for 501C(3) application were also submitted in a timely manner.
After almost 3 months of hard work, review of forms and documents, the 501C application for JEXCA NA, Inc. was mailed to IRS today. Now we got to wait to hear from IRS. It is a process that may take time but the good news is 99 percent of the time, applications filed for Tax Exemption are approved after extensive review and document submissions. We would like to thank all for making this happen. Once the exempt status is obtained, JEXCA NA, Inc. will have to follow the IRS 501C3 regulations: http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=96099,00.html
