Private Foundations: Tax Law and Compliance, 2001 Cumulative Supplement (Wiley Nonprofit Law, Finance and Management Series)

Private foundations are a special niche of the nonprofit sector. They are allowed to remain relatively tax-exempt in exchange for supporting charitable activities. There are more than 50,000- and growing- private foundations in the United States holding assets worth more than $230 billion. Private foundations are subject to a unique and complex set of (mostly tax) regulations that govern everything from how much money they give away to their investment policies and procedures. This much needed, annually updated manual explicates a wide range of tax rules and regulations for these foundations and prepares them for the increasing scrutiny of the IRS. Co-authored by a lawyer and tax accountant, the revised and expanded second edition of this highly respected guide includes practical tax compliance suggestions and in-depth legal explanations, line-by-line instructions, sample-filled IRS forms, and complete citations.Hopkins, Bruce R. is the author of 'Private Foundations: Tax Law and Compliance, 2001 Cumulative Supplement (Wiley Nonprofit Law, Finance and Management Series)' with ISBN 9780471390367 and ISBN 0471390364.
