Additional services tailored for you.
State and Federal Tax Filings
Our service includes preparation of federal Form 990, Form 990-PF, or Form 990-T, along with related state forms. In addition, we can assist with preparing year-end closing entries and can advise on other matters, such as taxability issues on unrelated taxable income. For more information, see our Not-for-Profit Entities industry page.
Solicitation Registrations
Most states, including Michigan, require not-for-profit organizations to register to solicit contributions from their donors. AHP can prepare these state registration or renewal forms when preparing your federal reporting forms.
Private Foundations
Private foundations are unique not-for-profit organizations whose primary purpose is typically granting to other not-for-profit organizations to assist them with achieving their mission. AHP can assist private foundations with tax compliance and planning. We can also compute the required income distributions to help ensure that all funding requirements are met so that no excise tax is imposed on undistributed income.
Exemption Applications and Formation Registrations
Just starting a not-for-profit organization? Applying for exempt status is a crucial step in the process of establishing a not-for-profit organization. AHP can assist with your application for exemption, which is required by the Internal Revenue Service. Proper completion of the required form is essential to approval of the requested not-for-profit status.
