How to Prevent Losing Your Nonprofit’s Tax-Exempt Status
How to Prevent Losing Your Nonprofit’s Tax-Exempt Status
One of the biggest obstacles I see that many nonprofit organizations have is understanding their tax responsibilities.
What?
Aren’t most nonprofit organizations tax-exempt?
Yes, that’s true, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t have to file their taxes annually.
Nonprofit Consultants
Noura also talks about tax and bookkeeping responsibilities for nonprofit consultants that serve nonprofit organizations.
These include what your business status is (Sole Proprietorship, LLC, Sole Corporation, etc.) and what your tax claims are (married, single, head of household, etc.).
Noura discusses some key ways in how nonprofit consultants and freelance grant writers can approach their finances and make sure that they do not get penalized by the IRS.
This is super important so that nonprofit consultants can continue to run their businesses and serve nonprofit organizations!
In fact, if your nonprofit organization does not file their taxes for three years, they will lose their tax-exempt status!
But this isn’t the only way that they can lose their nonprofit tax-exempt status. There are many more that Noura Almasri explains.
