Tax-Exempt Status
If your church contributed to the Cooperative Program through the South Carolina Baptist Convention during the previous calendar year, we can provide you with a 501(c)(3) letter. This letter can be used to prove your exemption from Federal taxes and your Not-For-Profit status with the IRS. Please note that churches are not exempt from paying Sales and Use Tax in South Carolina. Churches may apply for an exemption on items they plan to resale to the public using Form ST-10 and churches may be eligible to limit the amount of sales tax paid on musical instruments and office equipment using Form ST-382.
