    Many nonprofit executives, board members, and their auditors are familiar with Form 990—some auditors might even prepare it. Yet many of these professionals don’t know enough about what needs to be done to obtain and maintain tax-exempt status, and they’re not aware of actions that could jeopardize that status. For that reason, this discussion provides a beginning overview of the basics of tax exemption—and will be continued in an upcoming article in next month’s TaxStringer.

    An important concern in dealing with the tax treatment of U.S. LLCs in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions is the extent to which their treatment as “hybrid entities” will cause them to run afoul of a growing campaign against tax planning seeking to take advantage of the inconsistent treatment by different countries and jurisdictions of major types of income and tax offsets.
