Taxes

Not-for-profit organizations are fundamentally defined by their relationship to taxation. Clark Nuber doesn't just understand not-for-profit tax law. We take a holistic view of the entire legal, financial and regulatory ecosystem in which you function. That is why we are the region's most respected provider of accounting and tax services for not-for-profits.

We offer these services to groups of all kinds including healthcare providers, public and private foundations, trade associations, research institutions, schools, arts and recreation organizations and more. We plan effectively, use the most current technology and diligently monitor constantly changing tax laws and regulations.

Clark Nuber collaborated with CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business, to publish the Practical Guide to Form 990. This is an interactive online guide for preparing the annual federal Form 990 and 990-EZ for tax-exempt organizations. If you have questions or feedback about the publication, please click here.

Tax Returns

We prepare tax returns for not-for-profit organizations of all sizes and kinds, as well as for individuals, estates, trusts, partnerships and corporations. Our practice also includes tax planning and consulting, providing you with a fully integrated package of services.

Also, we understand many organizations do not have the expertise or time internally to manage reporting and tax requirements. Clark Nuber and Eve Borenstein, an exempt organizations tax attorney, partnered together to provide useful resources such as a Form 990 Board Questionnaire Template and a Form 990 Organizer at a reasonable cost to help your organization maintain a tax-exempt status.
