Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
About the Course
Introduction
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the determinations, calculations, disclosures, and tax reporting requirements for foreign investments, accounts, and activities held or conducted by tax exempt organizations. With the IRS increasing its scrutiny of foreign-based assets owned by U.S. taxpayers—including exempt organizations—understanding the evolving compliance landscape is essential.
Description
Our experienced panel will offer practical guidance on:
· Identifying which foreign investments and activities require disclosure on Form 990 Schedule F and related returns
· Tracking the location of foreign accounts and investments
· Reporting operations in countries subject to U.S. sanctions or boycotts
· Navigating the interplay between Schedule F and other foreign informational forms (e.g., Forms 926, 5471, 8621, 8865, FBAR)
· Understanding thresholds for reporting, and the consequences of non-compliance
Listen as our panel addresses best practices for foreign grantmaking, due diligence, and compliance with anti-terrorism and sanctions regulations. Real-world examples will illustrate the application of these rules.
