ASIN: 0471417815 |
Book Description
Hands-on guidance to help nonprofits through the tax filing mazeForms 990 provide a wealth of financial and programmatic information to enable government regulators, funders, journalists, and the interested public to measure a nonprofit's performance. A copy of the forms must be provided to anyone who asks; charities' forms are now posted for public view on the Internet courtesy of Guidestar.org. These forms are the most widely used tools for evaluating tax-exempt organizations. Schools, health and welfare organizations, business leagues, civic associations, museums, parent groups, garden clubs, private foundations, and the myriad of other nonprofit organizations recognized under section 501 of the federal tax code must file this form annually. Clear, correct, and concise preparation of Forms 990-EZ, 990, 990-PF, and 990-T is important, not only as financial documents, but also as a means of communicating an organization's mission and accomplishment to the public.
Demystifying the Forms 990 for financial professionals and nonprofessionals alike, this user-friendly handbook walks you through the federal tax compliance process to assure maintenance of tax-exempt status. Blazek is widely recognized for her ability to translate complicated concepts into understandable language and explain the why and how Forms 990 should be prepared. In this book, readers will find:
Customer Reviews:
It's boring, but then, so is air and water.......2001-05-04
Written by Jody Blazek, the book is a self-contained soup-to-nuts guide to completing these annual forms correctly.
Blazek accomplishes what she set out to do, as stated in the book's Preface: "My goal for this handbook is to demystify the Forms 990 for financial professionals and nonprofessionals alike - to make it easy for a nonprofit organization to achieve the best possible presentation of their financial activity and mission accomplishments for all to see."
As a lawyer who focuses on the law of tax-exempt organizations, one of my least favorite tasks is to prepare these annual forms. This handbook just made my life easier, and likely will result in a better result for my clients.

Even the seasoned fundraiser will learn much from his experience, though you may notice redundancy toward the beginning of the last half of the book. Skip over the stuff you know, and you will still be pleased with the outcome.
