Tax season can feel like a constant challenge for nonprofits. Between IRS regulations, Form 990 filings, and maintaining your tax-exempt status, the process often takes your focus away from what truly matters—serving your community and fulfilling your mission.
You might even worry about missing deadlines or accidentally breaking the rules. But the truth is, you don’t have to handle it alone.
Nonprofit tax services are designed to handle the tax responsibilities of organizations like yours. These services ensure that you remain compliant with tax laws, maintain your tax-exempt status, and take advantage of financial opportunities that benefit your cause.
At The Non-profit CFO, we provide comprehensive support to nonprofits, covering everything from annual filings to tax planning and advisory services
Form 990 is one of the most important tax documents for nonprofits. It’s not only required by the IRS but also serves as a tool to showcase your organization’s transparency and accountability.
We ensure your Form 990 is completed accurately and submitted on time, preventing compliance issues while highlighting your nonprofit’s achievements to donors and stakeholders.
Are you starting a new nonprofit? One of the first steps is applying for tax-exempt status. This allows your organization to operate without paying federal income taxes and provides significant benefits like eligibility for grants and tax-deductible donations.
We simplify the application process, assisting with Form 1023 or Form 1023-EZ, so you can secure your tax-exempt status without delays.
Staying compliant isn’t a one-time task. Nonprofits must navigate federal and state filing requirements, registrations, and updates to tax laws. Missing any of these can lead to penalties or jeopardize your nonprofit’s tax-exempt status.
Our team handles these responsibilities, ensuring your organization remains compliant year-round. From annual filings to state-specific registrations, we’ve got it covered.
If your nonprofit earns income outside of its primary mission—for example, through a fundraiser or business venture—that income may be subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT).
Our experts help you identify and manage UBIT obligations, minimizing your tax burden while keeping your organization compliant with IRS rules.
Good tax planning isn’t just for for-profit businesses. Nonprofits also benefit from strategic planning that helps them maximize resources and achieve their goals.
We work with you to create a tax plan that aligns with your nonprofit’s mission and financial priorities, helping you make the most of your resources.
Nonprofits that own property can often avoid property taxes, freeing up funds for their programs.
Many states allow nonprofits to make purchases related to their mission without paying sales tax.
Each state has specific rules for nonprofits, and staying on top of these is essential for maintaining good standing.
Building trust with donors is a key part of nonprofit success, and one way to do that is by providing accurate tax deduction receipts for their contributions.
The IRS requires nonprofits to issue acknowledgment letters for donations over $250. These receipts must include specific details, such as the donor’s name, donation amount, and a statement confirming whether goods or services were provided in exchange for the gift.
Our team can help your nonprofit create clear, professional receipts that meet IRS guidelines. This not only keeps your donors happy but also strengthens your organization’s reputation for transparency and accountability.
Maintain organized records of your finances, donations, and expenses.
Ensure all the information reported is accurate and supported by documentation.
If you receive an audit notice, having an experienced tax professional by your side can make a big difference.
