We know exempt organizations
It takes time and resources to keep up with the legislative changes and the scope of your activities’ impact on your exemption. A FIN48 review provides exempt organizations a thorough review of organizational activities through the lens of your IRS exempt designation.
FIN48 reviews help identify:
- Over/understated unrelated business income (UBI) activity
- Prohibited activity, private inurement, and intermediate sanction activities
- Inadequate or missed disclosures
- Multi-entity structure enhancement or restructuring options.
- Lapsed or conflicting corporate policy issues
- State and local tax issues from UBI, sales tax, and property tax
- Assist in evaluating tax impact of prospection transactions of new business activities.
