Can we file the form 1023 if it has been 27 months since our organization was formed?

In general, a nonprofits must file their exemption application using the form 1023 within 27 months from the end of the month in which they were formed. If they do file within the 27 months, they may be recognized as tax-exempt back to the date of their incorporation. If an organization files its tax-exemption application after the 27-month deadline, exempt status may only be recognized from their filing date.
