Tax Exempt Organizations – Operating, Organizing, and Preparing Forms (4 hours)

Overview

For tax-exempt organizations, it is not about calculating income tax. It is about showing to the IRS at inception and annually that the organization is entitled to be classified as a tax-exempt organization because of its purpose as reflected in its management and activities.
