Nonprofits must comply with special IRS rules and regulations in order to maintain their tax-exempt status. This course will explain the ongoing and annual IRS compliance requirements for nonprofits. It goes into detail on Form 990, 990-EZ, and nonprofit bookkeeping. It will also cover the rules you will need to know on issues such as charitable giving, conflict of interest, compensation, unrelated taxable business income, and political activity restrictions. PLEASE NOTE: This course is not about how to form a nonprofit corporation or apply for IRS recognition of your nonprofit's tax-exempt status. It has been written primarily for Section 501(c)(3) organizations that qualify as public charities and it doesn't cover the special tax rules applicable to private foundations. Therefore, while much of the material here is applicable to nonprofits other than Section 501(c)(3) organizations, this book has not been written with such organizations in mind. All course material provided. No prerequisites. Course level: Basic.
