Session 8 of Borenstein's Form 990 Foundational Series: Schedule G is a top five 'most common substantive'' Schedule as it details with more specificity than the Core Form a filer's revenue capture and the direct expenses from a filer's galas (i.e., fundraising events) and non-event fundraising sales, as well as reportings on the conduct of gaming activities. Schedule G also applies if the filer has used a professional fundraiser. Schedule D's parts are there to denote financial information as well as compliance points and/or data-capture the IRS seeks when a filer has certain assets on its balance sheet. Schedule D also requires input of audited financial statements' footnote specifying whether or not an uncertain tax position has been taken. This session highlights not only what informs the IRS' inquiries in each of these Schedules, and also notes how the required disclosures are used by the IRS and State/local regulators as well as by the public at large. Although this course is categorized as "Basic", the content is also suitable for those seeking intermediate-level training.
