Helping You Achieve Tax Exempt Status
A nonprofit organization can file for tax exempt status with the IRS. When a business is classified under this status, it may avoid state and federal tax liability. Additionally, this classification allows donors to deduct their contributions on their tax forms. It is important to have a Marietta business law attorney handle these filings. The application form is long and highly technical. You need someone with the expertise and knowledge to fill out the form correctly the first time to avoid complications down the road. As part of my business formation and business continuation practice, I can advise you in any number of areas, including:
- Articles of incorporation
- Bylaws
- Tax benefits
- Regulatory limitations
- Nonprofit best practices
Once you have formed your nonprofit, it is critical that you follow all of the filing and operating requirements under the law. There are limits to the pay that employees and board members receive as well as lobbying limitations. I can help advise you about how to comply with bylaws and other regulations and conduct fundraising activities, as well as the importance of separating board and staff roles. I will help make sure that you stay in line with the IRS so your important organization can continue to enjoy the benefits of tax exempt status.
