Since 2022, EO practitioners have seen an avalanche of issues resulting from the IRSs processing of exempt organizations filings and rostering snafus. These have resulted in erroneous notices, misapplied payments, omission from either or both Pub. 78 (available via TEOS) and the EO Business Master File Public Abstract database (the EO/BMF), and corrupted data entries in the EO/BMF. At best, the result has been panicked clients and correspondence nightmares; at worst, organizations have had to lay-off staff or even close due to inability to access donations or get cost reimbursement from government or other granting agencies. This session will cover the efforts of the TEGE EO Council (a professional association of CPAs, lawyers, paralegals, and interested others who serve exempt organizations membership is free!) to document these issues and publicize practical work-arounds for practitioners and affected organizations.
Major Topics:
- Roll-call of ongoing issues affecting exempt organizations
- Review of presenters EO Help Chart that provides most up-to-date listing of IRS offices and addresses/fax numbers
- How-to access and check clients current EO/BMF data
