Advising organizations that serve our community

Tax-exempt nonprofits are important organizations in our communities. But exemption from taxes doesn’t mean exemption from complex tax matters. We work with nonprofits to obtain tax-exempt status from the IRS and state taxing authorities, analyze unrelated business income tax issues and address issues involving private benefits, private inurement and excess benefit transactions.
