Essentials NWA – Taxes for Nonprofits with Diane Hagerty

In this workshop, Diane Hagerty of Grass Roots Taxes will lead participants through the process of reporting finances to the IRS as a tax-exempt organization.

How do nonprofits do their taxes? Join us for a practical session on nonprofit tax compliance, covering essential federal and state requirements. We’ll walk through a compliance checklist, highlight Arkansas-specific reports, and review IRS Form 990 reporting. The workshop concludes with a Q&A to address your organization’s specific questions.

The Taxes for Nonprofits Facilitator is Diane Hagerty, an expert in taxes with over 30 years of experience in small business, nonprofit, and individual taxation and compliance. She is the owner of Grass Roots Taxes in Springdale and hosts the Grass Roots Taxes YouTube channel and blog. Diane holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and is licensed by the IRS as an Enrolled Agent, their highest credential. Diane’s mission is to help taxpayers understand the law, avoid costly mistakes, and pay the least amount of taxes possible.
