Do You Want Instructions on How to Check If Your Corporation's Name will be Accepted by the Arizona Corporation Commission?*

Yes

How to Check a ``Proposed Corporate Name*

Note: To check if your desired corporation name is available to to the ACC’s online name checker to see if your desired name will be accepted or rejected. Here’s how to check a prospective corporation name.

1. Go the the Arizona Corporation’s name checker website.

2. In the middle row of data entry fields in the left field titled "Entity Name" enter the exact name you desire for your nonprofit corporation.

3. Click on the text in the orange box at the bottom in the center that says “Name Availability Check.”

The ACC’s database will then tell you if the desired name is available or not available.

Name Reservation Warning: Although the ACC’s database will ask if you want to reserve the name, I don’t recommend that you waste the $45 unless there is a lot of money riding on the name. Before purchasing a name reservation ask yourself this question: Given that the desired name has been available from the beginning of time up to the moment you checked the name, what are the chances somebody will use your desired name before you file your Articles of Organization?

Warning: Potential EIN Delay

If the IRS thinks your corporation's name is the same as another company it may delay 45 or more days before issuing an employer ID number (EIN) to your corporation. To learn more about this issue see "IRS Employer ID Number (EIN) Warning for New LLCs & Corporations."

These purposes are are charitable, religious, educational, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, and preventing cruelty to children or animals. The term charitable is used in its generally accepted legal sense and includes relief of the poor, the distressed, or the underprivileged; advancement of religion; advancement of education or science; erecting or maintaining public buildings, monuments, or works; lessening the burdens of government; lessening neighborhood tensions; eliminating prejudice and discrimination; defending human and civil rights secured by law; and combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency.

Exempt Purposes Authorized Under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(4)*

If the corporation is not organized for profit and will be operated primarily to promote social welfare to benefit the community, it may qualify for tax exemption under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(4). The corporation may (but is not required to) file IRS Form 1024-A, Application for Recognition of Exemption under Section 501(c)(4), to apply for recognition of its exemption from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(4). To qualify for tax exemption under Section 501(c)(4), no part of the corporation's net earnings can inure to the benefit of any individual. If the corporation were to provide an excess benefit to certain persons, an excise tax may be imposed on the corporation.
