Tax-Exempt Organization & Form 990 Basics 2024

Overview

If you're preparing Form 990, look beyond the numbers. Learn the importance of questions and the required information provided on the core form and the schedules. Also, examine Form 990, including the core form and Schedules A-G and I-R. Understand the impact of unrelated business income tax (UBIT) on different revenue streams. Featured topics include tax exemption, intermediate sanctions, direct and grassroots lobbying and the "expenditure test", public support, "quid pro quo" payments, the "commerciality," bingo, raffles and UBIT, generally. Learn the implications of the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan. Plus, briefly review federal and state UBIT and charitable filing requirements. Also, discuss specific provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 and both temporary and final guidance, including Treasury Regulations, to date. Finally, learn from experiences of the initial year of mandatory e-filing requirements and the requirement for the IRS to notify organizations in danger of automatic revocation of their tax exemption.
