The IRS has written new guidelines for its agents to help them determine whether charity executives receive excessive financial benefits and which activities of nonprofit health-care providers are not exempt from taxation.
The advice will be available in printed form later this year in the tax agency’s Continuing Professional Education textbook for fiscal 2004. The guidelines provide a view of the IRS’s thinking on key issues of nonprofit tax law.
In the meantime, the two chapters can be found online at http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=101915,00.html.
