SUMMARY:A Friendly Walk Through IRS Form 990 and Form 990-EZ (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Registration: Click here. You will receive a Zoom link upon sign up. \nPayment: Click here. The event fee is $25 per organization. This fee supports Lawyers Clearinghouse\, however if it’s difficult to pay the fee\, you may register for the workshop without it. \nMost Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofits must file an annual information return (Form 990 or Form 990-EZ) or notice (Form 990-N) with the IRS*. \nIn this overview\, attorney and CPA Brittany Besler will take participants on a user-friendly walk through the basic structure of Form 990 and 990-EZ\, and explain which small nonprofits are eligible to file the 990-N. This overview isn’t a substitute for working with an accounting professional on your organization’s Form 990 or 990-EZ. However\, it will help you better understand what the IRS asks for\, and why. \n* For organizations using a calendar year as their tax year\, the filing deadline for all three forms is coming up on May 15. Failure to file for 3 consecutive years results in automatic revocation of the organization’s tax-exempt status. It can be reinstated by meeting certain requirements\, but it’s better not to have it revoked. \nPresenter: Brittany Besler\, Besler Law LLC \nAbout Brittany: Brittany Besler\, JD\, CPA\, has been in the tax industry for over 12 years\, and is a member of the Boston Bar Associations Tax Exempt Organizations Committee. Brittany works to find solutions to a client’s tax-related problem\, with advice and opportunities to better manage their taxes or reporting requirements.
