Wauwatosa: A Taxing Decision for Outpatient Clinics The Wisconsin Court of Appeals today released a decision which potentially threatens the tax-exempt status of hospital outpatient departments throughout the state. In this case, Covenant Healthcare System, Inc. v. City of Wauwatosa, the Court of Appeals determined that the St. Joseph Outpatient Center in the City of Wauwatosa (the "SJOC") constitutes a "doctor's office" and therefore is ineligible for property tax exemption under Wisconsin law. In reaching this decision, the Court of Appeals essentially rejected the trial court's analysis of the role of outpatient medical services in a contemporary hospital setting. 08/10/10 Health Law Nonprofit and Tax Exemption   Healthcare Reform: Implications for Tax-exempt Hospitals The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 includes a set of sweeping changes applicable to charitable hospitals exempt under Section 503(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Act (a) imposes new eligibility requirements for 501(c)(3) hospitals, coupled with an excise tax for failures to meet certain of those requirements; (b) requires mandatory IRS review of the hospitals' entitlement to exemption; (c) sets forth new reporting requirements on the hospitals involving community health needs assessments and audited financial statements; and (d) imposes further reporting requirements on the Secretary of the Treasury regarding charity care levels. Most of the changes in the Act are scheduled to go into effect for tax years beginning after March 23, 2010, the date of enactment. 03/31/10 Nonprofit and Tax Exemption   IRS Compliance Guide for 501(c)(3) Public Charities The IRS has created a guidance document for leaders in nonprofit organizations. Although long and a bit technical, it is a good "one source" reference for a nonprofits' operations, reporting and tax filing requirements, including what may jeopardize recognition of the nonprofits' tax exempt status. For your organization or for those nonprofits you serve, review and discussion of the booklet may be a good New Year's discussion topic, or at least worth sending this document out to the board. 12/23/09 Compensation and Benefits/ERISA Nonprofit and Tax Exemption School Law   IRS Issues Guidance for 403(b) Plan Sponsors: Model Language for Public Schools and Transition Relief for Contract Exchanges and Frozen Plans Last July, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") released final regulations under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") that are generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2008. The final regulations make 403(b) plans more like other defined contribution retirement plans such as 401(k) or 457(b) plans. 01/14/08 Business and Corporate Law Health Law Nonprofit and Tax Exemption Tax   The Implications of Sarbanes-Oxley for the Nonprofit Sector The American Competitiveness and Corporate Accountability Act of 2002 10/01/05 Health Law Nonprofit and Tax Exemption Real Estate Tax   Legislature Overturns Columbus Park legislation is to restore the property tax exemption previously enjoyed by residential housing owned by benevolent associations and certain other entities 03/01/04 Data Protection, Licensing and Management Nonprofit and Tax Exemption Tax   Exempt Organizations and Cyberspace Form 990s and the Internet 02/01/00 Nonprofit and Tax Exemption Tax   New Exempt Organization Disclosure Requirements Form 990 and Exemption Application more accessible than ever 05/01/99 Nonprofit and Tax Exemption Tax   Tax Exempt Organization Intermediate Sanctions Worse Than the Death Sentence?
