Common Nonprofit Tax Deductions and Credits:

Grants and Donations: Properly accounting for grants and donations is vital for nonprofits, as they can impact your tax obligations.

Completed NON PROFIT INTAKE FORM or HOA INTAKE FORM

Financial Statements: Balance sheets, income statements, and other financial documents for the tax year.
Expense Receipts: Records of deductible expenses, such as employee-related costs and office expenses.

Is Tax Filing Required for Homeowners' Associations (HOAs)?
On the surface, many Homeowners Associations (HOAs) may believe that their non-profit status grants them exemption from tax obligations. However, this common misconception can have significant financial consequences.
Contrary to popular belief, HOAs are generally required to pay taxes and file tax returns in most states, unless they qualify for specific exemptions under the law. Even when an HOA hasn't generated taxable income, tax returns may still be necessary.
Misunderstanding tax obligations due to their non-profit status can expose HOAs to a range of financial problems.
