Overview

IRS regulations have made private business use (PBU) a concern across both public and 501(c)(3) campuses. In particular, the adoption of Schedule K reporting requirements to IRS Form 990 has emphasized the need for 501(c)(3) institutions to revisit IRS post- issuance tax compliance standards. For this reason, you need to quickly combine campus cooperation, proper documentation, and accurate calculation to ensure your institution is compliant.

Join us for a two-part online training series that will cover PBU requirements for public and 501(c)(3) institutions. Session 1, will cover appropriate steps in working with campus partners to communicate and gather PBU information. Session 2, will work more exclusively with gathered data to explore PBU calculation and remediation. Included in both sessions will be various communication steps, PBU survey samples, calculation principles and red flags, and best practices in remedial action.

Who should attend?

All higher education administrators involved in the issuance and ongoing management of tax-exempt debt will benefit from this online training series devoted to private business use classification and calculation principles.
