Course Materials

This teleconference will provide accounting advisors with an update on new developments involving unrelated business income (UBI) oversight at the federal level. The panel will offer suggestions to improve planning and preparation for IRS non-profit audits.

Description

The need for non-profits and their advisors to skillfully navigate policy on when UBI leads to a tax bill has never been more pressing. A U.S. House subcommittee recently held hearings on oversight of tax-exempt activities, and a far-reaching inquiry seems likely.

That inquiry could address the IRS' ongoing project on college and university compliance, religious organizations and UBI, redesign of Form 990, and Form 990-T filing trends. Other new guidance and IRS activities demand attention. The updated IRS Publication 598 (UBI guidance) and 2012 work plan are examples.

Non-profits are still adjusting to rules for when 501(c)(6) organizations with affinity marketing programs must report UBI. A review of material developments involving federal oversight, regulations and guidance on UBI can help non-profits and advisors be ready to act swiftly and correctly.

Listen as our panel of experienced non-profit tax advisory specialists brings you up to speed on the latest new guidance and shifts in UBI tax policy and compliance initiatives at the federal level.
