What is the difference between not-for-profit and tax exempt status?

Legal e-Source FAQs
Non-profit status is a state law concept. Non-profit status may make an organization eligible for certain benefits, such as state sales, property, and income tax exemptions. Although most federal tax-exempt organizations are non-profit organizations, organizing as a non-profit organization at the state level does not automatically grant the organization exemption from federal income tax.

What is the difference between not-for-profit and tax-exempt?

FAQs
Non-profit and not-for-profit are state law concepts. Most states have laws whereby an entity can be incorporated as a non-profit or not-for-profit organization. However, the mere fact that an entity is organized as a non-profit or not-for-profit organization does not indicate that it is exempt from federal income tax. To qualify as a tax-exempt organization, an entity must meet requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code.

Absolutely not. Being formed as a non-profit corporation does not automatically mean that the corporation is tax-exempt for federal and, in some instances, state income tax. A "tax-exempt" corporation is a distinctive entity that has gained an exemption from income tax liability. A non-profit corporation is not eligible for exemption from income tax liability until it applies for and has been approved by the IRS for tax-exempt status.
