Is it possible to help with the actual information that needs to be added. What lines ..I know the order but wanted to see actual forms filled out to compare with my forms

[@iampodcast6827]

You mention you can check if the name is already taken where would you do that

[@iampodcast6827]

What lines would a church fill out for ein and would you put for banking purposes or change on organization

[@11219tt]

I created my EIN first so i could start looking professional. Good or bad idea?

[@Aplos]

That makes you official with the Federal government. You’ll also want to make sure you get through forming the entity with your Secretary of State. Doing both will make sure you are off to the races on both State and Federal levels and that the name you want is available.

Do you know if this is relevant to canadian paperwork?

Hi Tim,
I am in California and working towards a Non profit.
Q: Do I use the Articles of Incorporation of a General stock corporation? or Closed corporation?

I really want to listen to your video but I can't because of the background noise. I had a Brain injury two years ago and I'm largely healed but my brain wants to focus on you but it keeps having to redirect and focus on the music to then get back to you. I am sure your content is valuable and I want to listen to it. Please let me know if you can repost the video with just your voice

The music stops at about 0:35 when he gets into the content.
