Seyfarth to Sponsor and Ofer Lion and Douglas Mancino to Speak at 55th Annual Hawaii Tax Institute

Ofer Lion, partner in Seyfarth's Corporate department, will be presenting "Current Developments and Trends under the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Affecting Nonprofits and Foundations; Avoiding Red Flags and Dealing with Your State’s Attorney General" on November 5. The new Tax Act impacts nonprofits in many ways, including changes in charitable giving, taxes on employee benefits and executive compensation, and the way unrelated business income tax (UBIT) is calculated. This session will focus on the new laws and strategies for tax-exempt organizations to address these issues, how to avoid red flags that may trigger an audit, and how to deal with an Attorney General audit or other enforcement action, as well as provide an inside look into the concerns and activities of their offices when it comes to the nonprofit sector. 

 

Douglas Mancino, partner in Seyfarth's Corporate department, will be presenting "Audits, Appeals and Litigation over Charitable and Exempt Organizations" on November 7. The session will explore the dynamic and ever-changing landscape of audits, appeals and litigation of charitable and exempt organizations. The program will focus on what to do and not to do during an audit, how to work through the appeals process, and how to protect your client through a litigated process. Federal and State tax reporting issues will also be covered.
