Tax exempt for non-profit organization

Would you be able to assist us with a tax exempt question?

Our organization is a non profit tax-exempt, and the tax-exempt certificate has been provided to Comcast on at least two occasions.

We are recognized as "Religious Organization" that meets all the organizational and operational requirements of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Also we Provided a Sales Tax exemption Certificate from Illinois Department of Revenue

We continue to be billed for taxes for many months now. I called Comcast a few times and escalated it and been assured that it is now "fixed" and the next bill will not have tax on it and we will get a credit for taxes collected. But nothing seems to be happening.

Would you be able to help or to provide some information about the tax exemption?

Thank you so much in advance,

Regards,

Daniel C

Thank you Phil for your active involvement to get this resolved.

So there won't be any confusion with the Tax Exempt for Comcast Business, I'm going to post the information I received officially from Comcast.

Basically they told me that all the exempt documents are correct but Comcast doesn't offer tax exempt for Phone services, or if you have phones bundled with your Service. For either Federal or State. So there's nothing they can do.

From out Non Profit org perspective, I don't understand the reasoning, but it is what it is.

Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks Phil for all your assistance with this issue.

I'm currently working with the local rep to have the tax exempt applied under the correct code.

I'll updated the topic and mark it as resolved when I wrap things out.

Thank you again. Great customer service!

Hello @user_1230ae! We'll need to submit a ticket to apply for tax-exempt status. During this process, you'll be asked to email or fax your tax-exempt form(s). Can you send me a direct message?

Hello,

We have being denied tax exempt status for our phone services. We are a non-exempt school. I need to understand the reasoning behind Comcast decision not to give us a refund on all taxes collected and for not removing tax collection from our current bills.

Thanks,
