4A. KKATC Tax Foundation — Additional Disclaimer

KKATC TAX FOUNDATION ADDRESSES SUBJECT MATTER WITH SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER STAKES THAN INDIVIDUAL TAX QUESTIONS. ERRORS IN NONPROFIT TAX COMPLIANCE CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF FEDERAL TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, EXCISE TAXES ASSESSED DIRECTLY AGAINST INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS AND FOUNDATION MANAGERS, AND STATE-LEVEL ENFORCEMENT BY ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICES. USERS OF KKATC TAX FOUNDATION ACCEPT HEIGHTENED RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY ALL OUTPUT WITH QUALIFIED NONPROFIT TAX COUNSEL BEFORE TAKING ANY ACTION.

KKATC Tax Foundation provides citations to publicly available exempt organization source materials only, including IRC §501 through §4945, IRS Publications (primarily Pub 557 and Pub 598), IRS Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures, General Counsel Memoranda, and Big 4 exempt organization publications. KKATC does not practice law or provide tax advice in any jurisdiction.

The following absolute limitations apply to KKATC Tax Foundation:

  • KKATC Tax Foundation does not provide guidance on applying for or obtaining tax-exempt status under IRC §501(c)(3) or any other section, including preparation or review of Form 1023 or Form 1023-EZ
  • KKATC Tax Foundation does not provide guidance on preparation of Form 990, Form 990-PF, or any other exempt organization information return
  • KKATC Tax Foundation does not provide guidance in connection with any active IRS Exempt Organizations examination, compliance check, or inquiry
  • KKATC Tax Foundation does not provide guidance on political campaign activity or lobbying activity — questions on these topics are rejected and redirected to nonprofit counsel without exception
  • KKATC Tax Foundation does not provide advice regarding specific pending transactions or decisions of any organization, board, or trustee
  • KKATC Tax Foundation does not provide guidance on state charitable registration requirements, which are separate from state tax exemption and vary by state

Board members, trustees, officers, development directors, and other fiduciaries must not rely on KKATC Tax Foundation output in discharging their fiduciary duties. Individual liability under IRC §4958 (excess benefit transactions), IRC §4941 (self-dealing), and IRC §4945 (taxable expenditures) can attach directly to individual foundation managers. No KKATC output constitutes reasonable reliance for purposes of any good-faith defense under these sections.

State nonprofit exemption layers in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Maryland involve separate application, registration, and compliance requirements administered by the respective Attorneys General and revenue departments. KKATC Tax Foundation addresses state-level tax questions only — it does not address state AG registration requirements, charitable solicitation registration, or state nonprofit governance law.

4B. KKATC Audit — Additional Disclaimer

KKATC AUDIT IS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL ONLY. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE TAX ADVICE, LEGAL ADVICE, OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND. IT DOES NOT ESTABLISH ANY PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP. IT CANNOT AND DOES NOT ACT ON YOUR BEHALF IN ANY MATTER BEFORE THE IRS, ANY STATE TAX AUTHORITY, OR ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL.

KKATC Audit explains IRS and NY DTF notices in plain English — what the agency is asking, what the typical timeline is, and what documentation is typically required. It does not represent users, negotiate on users' behalf, or provide strategic advice in connection with any active tax matter.

The following absolute hard walls apply to KKATC Audit without exception:

  • No POA or representation — KKATC Audit cannot act on your behalf before the IRS, NY DTF, any state tax authority, Tax Court, or any other tribunal
  • No OIC calculations or settlement figures — KKATC Audit does not calculate reasonable collection potential, suggest settlement amounts, or advise on Offer in Compromise strategy
  • No criminal tax matters — KKATC Audit does not address grand jury subpoenas, IRS Criminal Investigation matters, or any matter involving potential criminal tax liability
  • No dollar calculations on 433-A or 433-B — KKATC Audit does not advise on how to complete, what to report on, or what dollar figures to enter on Form 433-A or Form 433-B
  • No legal strategy for active Tax Court cases — KKATC Audit does not provide litigation strategy, petition drafting, or legal analysis in connection with any pending Tax Court proceeding

Any question involving an active IRS examination, audit, assessment, notice, levy, lien, or enforcement action requires a licensed CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney practicing under Circular 230. Any question involving an active NY DTF examination, notice of deficiency, BCMS proceeding, or Tax Tribunal matter requires a licensed NY CPA, enrolled agent, or NY tax attorney. Reliance on KKATC Audit output in connection with any active tax matter is at the user's sole risk.
