Big changes are happening to the tax code because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but what does that mean for you and your nonprofit. From changes to taxes on Unrelated Business Income, changes to estate taxes, to changes to the standard and charitable deductions, there's a lot to digest and prepare for.
Jen Vacha, CPA, CGMA is a Principal at Brown, Smith, Wallace and has more than 15 years of experience, specializing in not-for-profit, individual and small business returns. She's here to break down what the changes mean to you, some strategies for fundraising in a new environment, and gives us a bonus tidbit about what needs to be in those tax receipts you send to your donors and when they need to get in the mailbox.
Brown, Smith, Wallace is hosting a free seminar on tax code changes that will dive even deeper on February 21 and 28 in St. Louis and St. Charles, MO.
You can find Jen at www.bswllc.com, on LinkedIn, or email her at jvacha@bswllc.com.
