ACPEN Signature: 2020 Not-for-Profit Accounting, Auditing, & Tax Update

Description

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act did not spare the Not-for-Profit sector: new excise taxes; new UBTI rules; changes affecting fringe benefits; changes affecting charitable contributions; changes affecting art collectors who donate to museums; changes in contribution substantiation rules; change in individual taxation affecting donations, some with positive effects and some with negative effects.  The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act, passed December 30, 2019 includes several provisions effecting tax exempt organizations which will be covered, including repeal of the parking/fringe benefit tax.
