Nonprofits get a bag of new rules from tax overhaul

Description

Abstract: When President Trump signed the massive federal income tax overhaul into law on December 22, 2017, much was made of nonprofits’ understandable concern that the higher standard deduction would reduce incentives for charitable giving. The concern is, of course, extremely important, but the new law also includes several other provisions that could affect nonprofits. This article discusses provisions that affect — or could affect — unrelated business taxable income, executive compensation, charitable donations and nonprofit financing.
