Program Description

Understanding how the principles of exempt taxation work in the real world is essential for attorneys advising nonprofits. A nonprofit may be exempt from federal income taxation but it is difficult to obtain and maintain that status while expanding the revenue-generating activities necessary to support its charitable or educational mission. This program is designed for non-tax specialists advising nonprofit organizations on their operations. The program will provide a practical guide to the requirements of obtaining tax-exempt status, the differences between the major types of exempt organizations, and discuss major tax-exempt concepts such as the unrelated business income tax, joint ventures with profit-making ventures and more.

- Requirements of obtaining and maintaining tax-exempt status for nonprofits

- Differences between a “public charity” and a “private foundation” for exemption purposes

- Unrelated business income and how it is taxed

- Joint ventures with profit-making firms

- Reporting and compliance obligations
