Why Tax Reform Matters to Non-profits

Reading time: 1 minute

JLK Rosenberger Hot Take: For many of our nonprofit clients that pay parking for their employees, this legislation would prevent them from being subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT). In addition, they would not need to consider grossing up wages for the parking benefit. We will keep you updated on any changes.

What’s in the Tax Package?

The Republican’s tax package, which includes the Retirement, Savings and Other Tax Relief Act of 2018 (H.R. 88), provides tax relief in key areas impacting both individual and business taxpayers. Specifically, the legislation includes the repeal of the required minimum distribution requirement for small retirement plans, the deduction of qualified tuition and related expenses as well as the treatment of mortgage premiums as qualified residence interest. It also provides tax-related disaster relief for those impacted by recent natural disasters, Obamacare requirements and addresses tax rules scheduled to sunset at the end of the year. Finally, it will allow startups to deduct up to $20,000 in qualifying expenses.
