Colleges and universities receive billions of dollars each year in the form of tuition and state aid. This amount is supplemented by very large college foundations that hold billions of dollars in their coffers. For many years the IRS paid little attention to the non-profit organizations, granting tax exempt status with relative ease with the number of nonprofits rising greatly in a 20 year period. The IRS places colleges and universities in the same bucket when it comes to taxation. Now, however, the IRS is looking to insure compliance with tax law, and is focusing upon nonprofits and colleges and universities. The federal government and Congress have become increasingly proactive in directing the IRS to step up enforcement of tax laws for colleges and universities. This book will outline the tax obligations for employees and executives at colleges.
