You have Two Options… The individual 1023 church form is 31 pages long and I will not fill it out for you here You only need to fill out the 1023 if you are going to have a ministry other than the church; a daycare center, pre-school, store, etc. Here is the link if you want to file for your own federal tax exemption http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs- pdf/f1023.pdf http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs- pdf/f1023.pdf
