The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, known officially as H.R. 1, (The Act) represents a dramatic overhaul of the U.S. tax code, and includes widespread changes to the tax rules affecting charitable nonprofits.

AFCPAs Joshua England, JD, LLP, Trust, Estate, Tax and Nonprofit Strategist provides an overview of how The Act impacts nonprofits, including guidance on operational changes nonprofits may need to make right away. Josh also provides insight on how The Act has changed the tax benefits donors may receive from making a charitable contribution so nonprofits may better anticipate how private donations could be impacted.
