I freely admit it.

Many people think that just creating a nonprofit corporation and conducting business as a nonprofit makes the organization tax-exempt. That is far from the truth. Incorporating a nonprofit in the state of formation merely establishes it as a legal business entity. Having tax-exempt status means that the net profits of the organization are exempt from federal income taxes.
