The tax-exempt bond area is closely overseen and regulated by the IRS tax-exempt bond (TEB) division. In 2016, TEB has been allocating half of its resources to examination casework. Included in the examination casework category are referrals and claims, TEB’s market segmentation program and the division’s compliance check/soft letter program. Given the importance of tax-exempt bond financing to your organization, the complexity of maintaining post-issuance qualification of your bonds, and the IRS’s oversight of this area, your organization should understand the requirements for post-issuance compliance and monitor the use of bond-financed facilities to ensure continuing compliance. The penalties for noncompliance could be costly.

The digital age created a new standard for your operations. Not-for-profit organizations no longer need brick-and-mortar locations to deliver services, and employees do not need to be physically present in your building in order to work for your organization. Online gift shops and bookstores may also necessitate tax filings in multiple states.
