How much is the user fee for an exemption application?

The amount of the user fee depends on the applying organization's average annual gross receipts. If the organization's average annual gross receipts have exceeded or will exceed $10,000 annually over a four-year period, the fee is $850.  If gross receipts have not exceeded or will not exceed $10,000 annually over a four-year period, the user fee is $400.  An applicant must certify its gross receipts in Part XI.  (For applications prepared using Cyber Assistant software, when available later in 2010, the fee will be $200.)

These amounts are subject to change; the IRS publishes the latest user fee information at www.IRS.gov, keyword "user fee"; you can also contact Customer Account Services for the latest information.
