What Are Some Common Challenges that Nonprofit Organizations Face in Tax and Compliance?
- Tax Code Maze: Understanding complex tax rules for nonprofits (UBI, lobbying limits, etc.) can be tricky.
- Keeping Tax-Exempt Status: Nonprofits must maintain meticulous records, follow spending rules, and file accurate Form 990s to keep their tax-exempt status.
- Income & Expense Classification: Accurately classifying donations, grants, program fees, and unrelated business income with their corresponding expenses can be difficult.
- Recordkeeping Requirements: Strict IRS recordkeeping rules for donations, grants, expenses, and programs are crucial for audits and demonstrating proper use of funds.
