BEWARE of CORPORATE PROCESSING SERVICE

If your nonprofit receives an official looking letter from CORPORATE PROCESSING SERVICE, 836 57th ST STE 490, Sacramento CA, offering to file a Form 501-C for a mere $243, DON’T FALL FOR IT! The Corporate Processing Service is offering to complete a Declaration of Directors and Officer.  CA requires authorized corporations operating in CA to file an annual or biennial report called the Statement of Information – not a Declaration of Directors and Officers. The Statement of Information can be completed online with a filing fee of $25.
