Tax Risks for Nonprofit Organizations

Course Description
Many nonprofit organizations may be tax-exempt under IRC 501(c)(3), but this does not mean they are immune from tax risks and regulations. Continued governmental scrutiny of the exempt status of nonprofits coupled with the general exemption requirements mean that organizations need to understand the potential risk areas. In addition, tax exposures can occur in other areas that can catch organizations unaware, especially if they have for-profit subsidiaries. In this session we will cover general tax exemption requirements, specific areas of current IRS review and focus and what nonprofit organizations can and should do to monitor tax risk.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the general and specific requirements for tax-exempt status.
• Analyze the current areas of IRS focus.
• Address other areas of potential tax exposure.
• Discuss approaches to monitor and evaluate tax risk.
