NON PROFIT TAX RESOURCES

Looking for help to structure or organize your non-profit entity? Ask about our non profit tax resources.

We are expert in non profit tax resources and we are here to help you. Directing a non-profit organization (NPO) requires knowledge of federal and state income tax compliance and filing requirements with certain state agencies.  As a fiduciary of a non-profit organization, you assume responsibility for the proper reporting and expending of public contributions, as well as complying with various state business law regulations.

If you are the Executive Director or a board member of a tax-exempt entity, the following are topics you should be aware to comply with IRS regulations:

• Are board members considered employees for wage and withholding purposes
• Can board members serve dual capacity as a board member and an employee
• How are board members to be reimbursed for travel while conducting business for the tax-exempt entity
• Which IRS mileage rate can a board member use
• Under what circumstance should a 1099MISC be issued to a board member
• What are the rules and tax consequences of “private inurement” transactions
• What is the tax consequence of “self-dealing” transactions

Take advantage of our expertise in non profit tax services! We can assist you with your non-profit organization audit compliance requirements as well as your federal and state income tax inquiries, and in complying with governmental non-profit organization audit requirements required under the Single Audit Act.

Our clients include non-profit organization entities in multi-family housing projects, including section 202 and 811.
