Section 4960 imposes a 21% excise tax when a tax-exempt organization pays a covered employee more than $1 million. The 2025 OBBBA expansion redefines "covered employee" as anyone employed since 2017, widening the tax base for hospitals, universities, and foundations filing Form 4720 in 2026.
Private foundations must distribute 5% of average non-charitable-use assets each year as qualifying distributions or face a 30% initial excise tax under IRC Section 4942. A trustee's working guide to Form 990-PF Part XII, set-asides, five-year carryovers, and the 100% additional tax.
A practical walkthrough of the Single Audit Act, the new $1 million federal expenditure threshold effective for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2024, the SEFA's role, the four-step risk-based major program selection, the 12 compliance areas auditors test, and the steps nonprofits and local governments should take before crossing the threshold.
OMB raised the single audit threshold to $1 million in federal expenditures starting October 1, 2024. This guide explains the Subpart F audit under 2 CFR 200, SEFA reporting, four-step major program determination, the 40 and 20 percent coverage rules, and the nine-month Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission deadline for nonprofits and state and local governments.
A side-by-side guide to Form 1023 ($600, 30+ pages) and Form 1023-EZ ($275, three pages) — including the $50,000 gross receipts test, $250,000 asset cap, the 27-month retroactive recognition deadline, and why 37% of streamlined approvals failed to meet legal requirements.
A practical guide to fiscal sponsorship — how Model A (9–15% fees) and Model C (4–10% fees) differ, how donations flow legally, what an agreement must cover, and when a project should graduate to its own 501(c)(3).
Nonprofits with gross receipts of $50,000 or less file Form 990-N; those under $200,000 receipts and $500,000 assets file 990-EZ; everyone else files the full 990. This guide covers thresholds, deadlines, late penalties up to $120 per day, and the three-year automatic revocation rule that quietly strips exempt status.
How nonprofits trigger Unrelated Business Income Tax — a flat 21% federal levy, the three-part IRS test, traps in gift shops and advertising, statutory exclusions, and the post-2017 siloing rules under IRC §512(a)(6) that lock losses to each unrelated business.
A 2026 comparison of donor-advised funds and private foundations covering AGI deduction limits, the 0.5% itemizer floor and 35% deduction cap from OBBBA, the 5% payout rule, self-dealing penalties, and why closely-held stock donated to a private foundation deducts at cost basis instead of fair market value.
How to verify 501(c)(3) status through the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search, substantiate donations at the $250, $500, and $5,000 thresholds, and work with 2026's new 0.5% AGI floor and non-itemizer charitable deduction rules.
