Casner & Edwards partner Sharon C. Lincoln chaired the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education’s (MCLE) program, “IRS Form 990, Form 990-PF & Other Charity Filings: The Rules, Risks, & Opportunities” on June 10. The program covered the basics related to tax exempt organization filing requirements with the IRS, the attorney general, and other regulators. Panelists also discussed common pitfalls and valuable opportunities related to these regulatory filings.
Lincoln’s practice focuses on advising nonprofit entities on the wide range of issues related to their tax-exempt status, including formation, funding, governance, executive compensation (including deferred compensation), regulatory compliance, restructuring, international grant making, lobbying, unrelated business income, tax opinions, and mergers & acquisitions. She also represents clients in matters involving the California Attorney General and Franchise Tax Board, the Massachusetts Attorney General and Department of Revenue, and the Internal Revenue Service.
MCLE is the Massachusetts legal community's premier provider of hands-on educational programs and reference materials. Their mission is to keep raising the caliber of lawyers' professional and ethical service by providing comprehensive and practical continuing legal education of the highest quality to the broadest possible audience.
A recorded webcast of the event will be available on June 25 and July 3 here.
