Is your organization looking for recognition as a tax-exempt
entity? Mosher & Associates has been consistently successful in
applying to the Internal Revenue Service for tax-exempt status on
behalf of approximately 1500 nonprofit organizations.
We also represent clients with follow-up reporting requirements such as
annual Form 990 filings. We often work with our clients' accounting
firms to address audit issues and complex tax issues affecting possible
tax payments or penalties.
Unrelated Business Tax and Charitable Entrepreneurial Programs
Our clients are primarily supported by charitable contributions or by
related fees. However, it is common for non-profit corporations to
engage (intentionally or unintentionally) in regular business
activities that are not related to their tax-exempt purposes.
Tax issues develop when the IRS Auditor identifies taxable business
income or when our clients' auditor raises questions about certain
revenue sources. Our office works with clients to evaluate the tax
liabilities associated with unrelated business income and if possible,
to reduce or manage the financial consequences. Frequently we help
clients develop entrepreneurial business ventures with the
understanding that taxable income will result. Usually our principal
concerns are the preservation of our clients' tax-exempt status and
accurate determination of tax liabilities. We encourage our clients to
be creative in the area of charitable entrepreneurship.
