This CLE/CPE course will prepare tax counsel to nonprofits to properly establish joint ventures or other business alliances, including structuring the business entity, defining the scope of activities and intended operations, maintaining tax-exempt status, and addressing UBIT and Form 990 disclosures.

Description

Tax practitioners representing nonprofits must understand the different types of structures that can be used for joint ventures and affiliations. The participants' tax status and nature of the venture's activities are critical in determining potential tax implications.

Counsel must provide guidance to clients that are tax-exempt participants in a joint venture or affiliation regarding its exempt status, the potential for intermediate sanctions, private benefit issues, unrelated business income tax, Form 990 disclosures, and maintaining its public charity status under Section 509 of the IRC.

In addition to tax statutes and regulations, our panel will review IRS rulings and other guidance with respect to joint ventures. While some guidance is sector-specific, such as joint ventures in the healthcare, university, and low-income housing arenas, much is broadly applicable.

Listen as our authoritative panel of tax practitioners addresses key tax issues facing nonprofit or tax-exempt organizations in joint ventures or other business affiliations to choose the best type of structure for the venture, examine the nature of activities and operations of the venture, and deal with other critical issues. The panel will discuss joint ventures using partnership as well as corporate structures and will also discuss tax challenges from the perspective of the for-profit entity partnering with the NPO.
