Basic Tax and Reporting Considerations for Small Nonprofits Chuck Borek, CPA, JD, MBA, Executive Vice President, Tax Services, Cohen Rutherford + Knight, PC Attention Small Nonprofits! If your organization has income under $25,000 per year and you’re wondering how to comply with the Maryland State tax laws for nonprofits, this class is for you. Find out: 1) what bracket your organization fits into and what forms nonprofits in your bracket need to file; 2) how you know when you’ve graduated to the next bracket; 3) how the personal property tax form applies to your organization; and 4) whether your organization is exempt from the registration requirement for organizations that solicit donations. We’ll walk you through each of the forms, both the ones you file once (such as right after you obtain your tax-exempt status) and the ones you need to file annually, such as the Exempt Organization Fund-Raising Notice and the Personal Property Return. While the class will focus on Maryland State tax requirements, we’ll also discuss how to file the new 990 postcard. Attend this important class to make sure you file correctly and don’t compromise your tax-exempt status.

Alexandra
Phillips, a native of Vienna, Virginia, is a recent graduate of the
University of Tennessee in Knoxville with a Master’s degree in vocal
performance and a graduate of the Eastman School of Music. She
most recently performed Joseph Schwantner’s Sparrows with The
Contemporary Music Ensemble in Knoxville, where the Knox News
Sentinel hailed, “After getting past the clashing sounds of the
opening, I can’t imagine anyone singing this gentle, atmospheric piece
with its glistening interior spaces more gorgeously than did soprano
Alexandra Phillips.” She also recently sang the role of ‘Amy
March’ in Mark Adamo’s Little Women with Knoxville Opera, as
well as ‘Jenny Slade’ in Knoxville Opera’s production of Roman
Fever during the 2005 Rossini Festival. Alexandra has
performed the roles of ‘Olympia’ in Les Contes d’Hoffmann,
and ‘Little Red Ridinghood’ in Barab’s Little Red Ridinghood
with Shaker Mountain Opera. She was a winner in the NATS Mid-South
Region in 2005, a semi-finalist in the 2005 Orpheus Competition, and was
a two-time finalist in the Bethlehem Bach Competition.
Alexandra has performed the roles of ‘Monica’ in The Medium,
‘Laetitia’ in The Old Maid and the Thief, and ‘Gretel’ in
Hansel and Gretel with Municipal Opera Company of Baltimore.
She has soloed at the Kennedy Center, the White House, the Folger
Theatre, The Washington Arts Club and has performed with Interact
Theatre, The Washington Savoyards, the Washington Choral Ensemble, and
with the Paul Hill Chorale. Her performance as soprano soloist
for Handel’s Messiah under the direction of Dr. J. Reilly Lewis
in Washington, DC, led The Washington Post to write that her
voice was “bright and agile . . . a natural to the music.” 
Following
the dynamic concert opener, Jon Bruno will sing the beautiful
song cycle, “Songs of Travel” by Ralph Vaughan Williams, set to the
poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson. The songs trace the thoughts of
a wayfarer throughout his life – from the lure of the open road to the
sense of what might have been had he remained in one place. After
singing for 10 years with the Metropolitan Opera Chorus, Baritone Jon
Bruno began his solo career in December 2002 with a well-reviewed
performance at the Washington National Cathedral. Since then he
has been asked to solo numerous times in the Washington region and
beyond and is a popular soloist with many of the region's premier musical
groups. In just a few years, Mr. Bruno has performed at Lincoln
Center, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, The Library of Congress, The
White House, The Teatro Colon, the National Cathedral, and The National
Gallery of Art. He also sang the world premier of Libby Larsen's
"The Shepherd and the Angel." He can be heard as a
soloist for two of the Arkansas Chamber Singers’ most recent
recordings, "The Messiah" and "Magnificat," as
well as for the Cathedral Choral Society's two most recent
recordings, "Welcome All Wonders" and "Mass for a Sacred
Space". Ms. Phillips will then offer three beloved
sacred songs – “Pie Jesu”, from Fauré’s Requiem,
“O Divine Redeemer” by Gounod, and “Laudamus te” from Mozart’s
Mass in C Minor. The two vocalists will join forces
