The streamlined path
- One short form — Form 1023-EZ
- Retroactive reinstatement to the revocation date
- No penalties for the missed years
- 94% approved · average ~14 days
IRS Rev. Proc. 2014-11 · Streamlined reinstatement
The IRS revoked your nonprofit’s tax-exempt status. There’s a streamlined way back — but it expires.
Small organizations that apply within 15 months of revocation (Rev. Proc. 2014-11) can be reinstated retroactive to the revocation date with one short form — 94% of these applications are approved, average ~14 days.
We prepare the packet. Your officer signs and submits on Pay.gov. Not sure if you’re eligible?
Why the deadline matters
Inside 15 months, it’s simple. After that, it isn’t.
The IRS gives small organizations a short window to fix an automatic revocation with minimal paperwork. Miss it, and the same reinstatement requires substantially more work — for you.
The long way back
- Written reasonable-cause statements for all three years
- Every delinquent return for the missed period
- No retroactive guarantee — a gap in exempt status can remain
- We don’t handle these cases (see FAQ)
Not sure where you stand? Pay the $350 to start — we verify your deadline and eligibility first. If you’re not eligible for the streamlined path, you get a full refund. See Pricing.

FAQ
Questions, answered straight.
If you don’t see your question here, email us — we’ll give you an honest answer, even if it’s “this isn’t for you.”
Is this legitimate?
Yes. The streamlined reinstatement process is set out in IRS Rev. Proc. 2014-11. The IRS publishes its automatic-revocation list monthly — if your organization is on it and you’re within 15 months, this is the IRS’s own path back.
Who are you?
Restore501 is a service of RockySoftware Inc., an Ontario corporation based in Toronto, Canada. Our address and email are in the Contact section below — we’re a real, verifiable company, not an anonymous form mill.
Do you file for me?
No — and that’s by design. Your officer signs and submits on Pay.gov. We prepare the complete packet and map it to the Pay.gov screens, but we are not attorneys, CPAs, or enrolled agents and we do not represent you before the IRS.
How long does it take?
The IRS averages ~14 days on these applications, and 94% are approved. Your part — sharing your details — takes about 20 minutes.
What if my 15 months already passed?
Then the streamlined path is closed, and we don’t handle those cases. Email us anyway and we’ll tell you honestly what your options look like — we won’t sell you a service that can’t help you.
What do you need from me?
Your organization’s details, financials, and organizing documents — about 20 minutes of gathering. We’ll give you a clear checklist of exactly what to send.
Why not do it myself for $275?
You can — the form is public, and the $275 IRS fee is the same either way. The $350 is for having it prepared correctly, without missing the deadline: eligibility verified, packet complete, and every answer mapped to the Pay.gov screens before your officer submits.
