Religious corporation

Religious non-profit entities like churches are subject to less rigorous federal filing and reporting requirements than many other tax-exempt organizations. [ [http://www.irs.gov/charities/churches/index.html Tax Information for Churches and Religious Organizations] ] Depending on the state in which they are located, they may also be exempt from some of the inspections or regulations governing non-religious groups performing the same services.
