Nonprofit, tax exempt and 501(c)(3) Organizations
Do you need a nonprofit tax attorney to help form your organization? Did its nonprofit status get revoked?
Applying for and maintaining nonprofit tax exempt status can be complicated. Nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, such as a 501(c)(3), must comply with endless federal and state laws so they do not jeopardize their tax exempt status.
The Board of Directors/Trustees must follow certain fiduciary rules to avoid personal liability, even if they are volunteers.
Finally, the nonprofit organization must comply with all corporate requirements of a traditional company, PLUS navigate the Internal Revenue Code requirements. Attorney Laura Anastasia Brown provides nonprofit legal services with decades of experience throughout the Boston area and Massachusetts.
