Section 508 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 USC sect. 508 (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode26/usc_sec_26_00000508----000-.html)) exempts churches from the necessity to obtain a ruling that they are exempt organizations (for the purpose of tax deductability of donations made to them). However some churches choose to obtain such a ruling anyway, out of an abundance of caution.

Perhaps this is what you are asking about.
