As of January 1, 2014, the FTB will extend the automatic state exemption to IRC section 501(c)(4), (5), (6), and (7) organizations. These organizations will then be able to use the one-page form currently only allowed for 501(c)(3) organizations instead of the current, lengthy form. This will be more efficient and cost-effective for both the organizations and for the FTB.
Other 501(c) organizations are still out of luck.
