Private foundations continue to face significant compliance challenges. This helpful two-hour seminar is presented by one of the country's leading tax-exempt organization practitioners Jane Searing, CPA, M.S. Taxation, offers a practical examination of the latest federal tax developments, compliance issues, and planning opportunities to help private foundations navigate today's compliance challenges. Searing, co-author of the Private Foundation Handbook and Compliance Guide published by Wolters Kluwer, will help you get up-to-date on the most recent developments and hear the latest on Form 990-PF reporting requirements.
Although private foundations use a variation of the Form 990, the Form 990-PF is a very different filing. The Form 990-PF has four primary purposes:
• Calculating and payment of the net investment income excise tax under IRC Section 4940
• Calculating and reporting qualifying distributions for charitable purposes as required by IRC Section 4942
• Calculating and reporting whether the foundation qualifies as an operating foundation
• Voluntary reporting whether there have or have not been any violations of the other IRC Section 4941 through 4945 private foundation rules.
This timely two-hour course will provide you with an updated practical review of the Form 990-PF, discuss common transactions, pitfalls to watch for, and little understood reporting complexities.
