Optional Certificates Good Standing Certificate Upon request by the taxpayer, a Good Standing Certificate is available from the Department of Revenue, which will serve as confirmation that the entity has filed all tax returns and paid all taxes. This certificate is not filed with the Secretary of State. Instead, it is requested by the taxpayer for verification to outside parties, such as financial institutions, that the taxpayer has no outstanding tax obligation. Tax Clearance Certificate (TCC) Upon request by the taxpayer at the time of final withdrawal or dissolution, a TCC can be provided to the entity, which verifies that the entity has filed all applicable tax returns with the Department of Revenue. In addition, this certificate confirms that all taxes have been paid through and including the entity's final year of existence in Montana. This certificate is not required to be filed with the Secretary of State. Required Certificates Title 15 Certificate To reinstate a Montana corporation or limited liability company after it has been involuntarily dissolved by the Secretary of State, all tax returns have to be submitted and all taxes paid prior to the issuance of a certificate by the Department of Revenue. In the event that a corporation did not engage in any activity in Montana, the entity can file an Affidavit of Corporate Inactivity (Form INACT). This form is available on our website, revenue.mt.gov. Dissolution/Withdrawal Certificate (DWC) For purposes of voluntary withdrawal or dissolution with the Secretary of State, Sections 15-31-552 and 35-8-1010, MCA provides for a DWC. This certificate verifies that the entity has filed all applicable returns and has paid all taxes owing the State of Montana up to the date of request for dissolution or withdrawal. The entity remains responsible for the filing of a final return upon its withdrawal or dissolution (see TCC under "Optional Certificates"). Certificate of Reviver If the Secretary of State has suspended a Montana corporation's powers or forfeited a foreign corporation's rights to do business in Montana because the corporation license tax was not paid or a tax return was not filed, the corporation will need to request a Certificate of Reviver as well as a Title 15 Certificate to reinstate its entity. Both of these certificates must be sent to the Secretary of State. Nonprofit Organizations If your organization has registered as a nonprofit organization with the Montana Secretary of State, but has not yet qualified for tax-exempt status with the Montana Department of Revenue, the following information needs to be filed with the Tax-Exempt Status Request Form (Form EXPT) for your organization to establish tax-exempt status and to subsequently receive any certificate: 1. an affidavit stating the purpose of the organization 2. articles of incorporation 3. by-laws 4. financial statements 5. a copy of the IRS letter granting federal tax-exempt status, if available Form EXPT is available on our website revenue.mt.gov.
