We can help you setup and maintain your non-profit
organization's tax-exempt status by handling all the IRS
reporting for you.
Each year the IRS requires most tax-exempt
organizations to submit the Form 990 and its relations,
which includes the following items.
-
Income Statement
with very specific revenue and expense
categories like donations, salaries, postage, rent...
-
Balance Sheet
with specific categories like cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable...
-
Functional Expense Statement
with all the
expenses allocated to either program services, fundraising,
or operations.
-
Individual Program Expense Statement
that reports
all of the expenses for each program or service like seminar
programs or educational mailings.
-
Revenue Support Schedules
that detail
the organization's sources of income in specific categories
like charitable donations, membership fees, investment
income.
The IRS uses these very specific revenue and expense
classifications to determine if your organization will
retain its tax-exempt status. So it's imperative that you
build your accounting system around these revenue and
expense classifications.
If you're starting a new not-for-profit organization
we can help you prepare your organization's 501 (c)(3)
application for tax-exempt status.
