Past Events

May 2010
THE “NOT SO” NEW FORM 990- ONE YEAR LATER
The revised Form 990 is entering its second year of existence, and what have we learned? As expected, completing the revised Form 990 was challenging to say the least. And to complicate matters, the IRS has made additional changes to the 2009 version of the form. In addition, due to the phase-in rules, many more organizations will be required to utilize the revised form for their 2009 filing.
Please attend our upcoming seminar where we will discuss what we learned from the last filing season and what we have to look forward to when completing the 2009 return. We will do an overview of the form, review the major changes and discuss some of the issues that arose while completing the expanded parts of the form as well as the various schedules, many of which your organization may need to complete. |
