Tax Planning and Preparation for Non-Profits in Atlanta
A non-profit is required to stay tax compliant to keep its status as a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization. Tax-exempt, non-profit organizations are charitably driven forces for good, but they can take many forms. Non-profits can range from a small group organization to a national foundation. As a result, tax planning and preparation for the non-profit industry requires experience.
In many cases, financial data is maintained by volunteers and people with laudable goals but little experience preparing extensive financial statements. Tax laws are complicated and subject to change. Tracking everything can be a challenge, but that’s where we come in. When the IRS passes a change in tax law, our certified public accountants and advisors know.
For non-profits, every dollar matters. We’ll help you get a full understanding of where your organization stands, what’s coming next and how you’re going to get there. Tax planning includes much more than filing an IRS Form 990. Let us take care of your taxes. Professional tax planning services by Marshall Jones involve developing annual strategies for maximizing deductions, reducing risk and getting more from your assets.
