In 2013, the IRS reported that tax exempt organizations held over $3.5 trillion in assets and received more than $1.8 trillion in gross receipts. Given the amount of money that passes through nonprofit organizations, it is not surprising that the IRS has increased its focus on these organizations. This webinar, offered by a leading tax controversy attorney will introduce attendees to:
The procedures to request and receive Section 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.
The requirement that the organization be organized for an exempt purpose and that it operate exclusively for exempt purposes. This discussion will include an analysis of the restrictions related to the organization’s ability to engage in for-profit activities.
The requirement that the organization not operate in a manner that results in providing private inurement to shareholders or a prohibited private benefit. This discussion will include an analysis on how the IRS evaluates compensation and payments for goods and services.
The Unrelated Business Income Tax, when it is required and how it is calculated.
The procedures to challenge a denial or revocation of exempt status at the administrative level as well as in Tax Court.
