In this episode of Charity Therapy, Meghan and I bravely step into the IRS maze.

Don't worry - we've got a flashlight and a sense of humor to guide us through!

We talk about the unexpected humanity we found within the walls of this bureaucratic behemoth. We also unravel the often confusing and frustrating world of the IRS's automated systems, swapping anxiety for some much-needed clarity.

In the second half, we take a deep dive into the world of nonprofit tax filing compliance. From the importance of filing your 990 with the IRS to the potentially disastrous consequences of neglecting it - we cover it all.

But it's not all doom and gloom!

Meghan and I underline the benefits of electronic filing and emphasize the importance of getting proof of filing from a trusted CPA. And yes, we also talk about the dire implications of a three-year filing lapse - buckle up, it's a wild ride!

Finally, we discuss having the right professionals guiding your nonprofit's finances. Why? Because the stakes are high, and a wrong move with the IRS can be catastrophic. We also share why you need a CPA who specializes in nonprofit accounting and how these professionals can help your nonprofit grow.

Remember, Meghan and I are here to help you navigate these choppy IRS waters!
