As you likely know, the federal government provides tax benefits to registered nonprofits and, in return, the IRS requires that those organizations comply with specific tax laws – or else face the loss of their tax-exempt status and other penalties.
In this class, we will provide a brief overview of IRS Form 990 and identify general compliance requirements for tax-exempt organizations. We will also address unrelated business income tax (UBIT), substantiation and disclosure requirements for charitable contributions, and how annual returns and exemption applications are inspected by the public.
