• Formation: Organization and filing of the documentation necessary to establish tax-exempt entities.
• IRS Exemption Submissions: Preparation and filing of documentation necessary to obtain tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service.
• Planning to Avoid Problems: Avoiding or minimizing the effects of private foundation status, minimizing unrelated business income tax and assisting with internal audits.
• Audits: Advocacy at both the state and federal level when authorities raise questions as to tax-exempt status, assert unrelated business income or seek to impose private foundation penalties.
• Charitable Giving: Assisting with structuring a program of charitable giving to ensure the organization retains its charitable status and provides its donors with appropriate deductions/documentation.
