Expert Profile: Harvey Mechanic

Expertise: Federal tax issues of nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charities only. Establishing and maintaining legal requirements for such non-profit organizations in the United States, including Internal Revenue service filings and requirements. I will not be working on this free forum to answer question about Nonprofit's Unrelated Business or how to fill out forms. This forum is only for legal questions about a specific nonprofit asked by members or those otherwise directly effected by the specific nonprofit organization.
I have been practicing law and especially the law of nonprofit organizations since 1990 when I was admitted to the New York Bar.
