The Nonprofit Taxonomy of Exempt Entities (NTEE) codes is crucial since they help in classifying nonprofit organizations.

In addition, the NTEE codes offer quality information that can be used in decision-making in the nonprofit sector and public policy (Fyall, Moore, & Gugerty, 2018). Since the data gathered and analyzed is accurate and reliable, it leads to good decisions. The system began to be used in the mid-1990s by the people who decide if organizations are eligible for the federal tax-exempt. Besides, it is simple and provides better information.
Both the NTEE and IRC codes are beneficial. The National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS) maintains the NTEE codes. These codes are used to classify nonprofit organizations (National Center for Charitable Statistics, 2019). Specifically, there exist distinctive definitions of the not-for-profit sector since organizations are develop...
