State & Federal Income Tax Compliance

Our team has organized many tax-exempt entities providing health care services. We help hospitals and health care systems avoid a variety of tax penalties when entering into contracts and complex joint venture agreements with individual physicians, physician practice groups and other taxable entities. We also deal regularly with questions regarding private inurement, private benefit and the so-called “intermediate sanctions” under IRC Section 4958 for our tax-exempt hospital clients. We ensure that our clients’ transactions are structured to satisfy all applicable Internal Revenue Code (IRC) standards and Treasury regulations. Additionally, we provide direction to clients responding to questions posed by the IRS Exempt Organization Branch and help them secure favorable determination letters.
