ExplanationThe filing organization is a School. However, it also meets the 33 1/3% Support Test of IRC Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) for purposes of limiting the charitable gift disclosures to 2%, using the Special Rule on Schedule B.Due to limitations in the tax filing software, Schedule A, Part II will not print, and the Schedule B Special Rule cannot be used, unless Box 7, 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) organization, is checked on Sch A, Part I. If we follow this course, we are unable to check "Yes" on Form 990, Part IV, line 13a ("Is the organization a school..."), nor can we attach Schedule E, both of which are required. The software provider makes these options available only when Box 2, School, on Schedule A, Part I is checked.In an effort to file as correctly as possible, we have checked the School Box on Schedule A, Line 2, reported under the Special Rule on Schedule B and attached a separate page to demonstrate that we pass the Support Test of Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). The attached additional completed Schedule A, Part II has Box 16a checked, as required by the Schedule B instructions.ExplanationTxt

ExplanationThe organization's medical school subsidiary organization has a Government Relations office which makes contacts; working in coordination with that government relations office, the filing organization's employees will sometimes make direct contact with legislators, their staffs, government officials, or a legislative body. The Government Relations office was actively involved with several federal and state issues during the year, (including tax reform and specifically the Historic Preservation Tax Credit for Wake Forest Innovation Quarter which may have a direct impact upon the filing organization), but because of the preponderance of current Health Care legislation, the Government Relations Office of the filing organization's subsidiary spent less time during the tax year on purely educational issues of greatest relevance to the filing organization.ExplanationTxt
