Ruling Year
There are 2 dates on a Letter of Determination, the stamped date, which is the date the IRS gives the determination (or the ruling), and the “Effective Date of Exemption”, this is the date that the org is exempt from taxes and donations can be made that are tax deductible. See the example below.
If you have concerns about these dates you will need to follow up with the IRS. You may contact the Nonprofit Division of the IRS for more information at: (877) 829-5500 (toll-free number).
