Additional Representative Experience

Ms. Callahan and Dean Mead’s Tax team represents tax-exempt organizations with numerous organizational and operational issues. Ms. Callahan and her team assist clients in selecting the initial structure of the organization, such as Section 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, Section 501(c)(6) trade associations, Section 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations and a variety of other categories of tax-exempt organizations. She also assists in evaluating the tax-exempt purposes of the organization, qualifying it as tax-exempt and complying with laws governing tax-exempt organizations.

Many tax-exempt organizations wish to qualify under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code because contributions to these organizations are deductible to the donors. Ms. Callahan assists clients in determining whether the organization qualifies as a Section 501(c)(3) organization. Each Section 501(c)(3) organization is further classified as a public charity or a private foundation and she helps our clients determine which status would be more beneficial to their organization.

In addition, Ms. Callahan handles tax issues that surround the qualification, operations and transactions of the tax-exempt organization.
