Eve Rose Borenstein's law practice focuses on the impact of tax and regulatory rules applied by the IRS and state agencies on "tax-exempt" and/or public benefit organizations. Over the course of the past 19 years, Ms. Borenstein has built a national practice, consulting with CPAs and individual nonprofit organizations on tax planning and filing matters. She has represented more than 750 tax-exempt organizations before the IRS on audits, exemption applications and status correspondence. In addition to her federal tax practice, she also counsels organizations on the practical application of governance and various other state statutory mandates and/or aspirational "best practices." Ms. Borenstein is an active member of the American Bar Association's Tax Section Committee on Exempt Organizations and works with various other professional committees and organizations (including AICPA) to provide feedback to the IRS on exempt organization tax filings and reporting. She is the author/instructor of three exempt organization eight-credit CPE courses available through state CPA societies around the country, and teaches widely to nonprofits directly as well as to the professional community serving them. (As of January 1, 2004, her speaking and writing of a nonlegal counsel nature is conducted through Eve Rose Borenstein, LLC.) Teaching to clients, professionals and the nonprofit community at large continues to occupy a significant portion of Ms. Borenstein's legal and consulting practice, and she remains committed to assisting the sector in "doing it right the first time." Ms. Borenstein graduated from the University of Rhode Island after a lengthy college career and received her law degree from the University of Minnesota in 1985. She is the proud parent of two young adults and resides in Minneapolis with her life partner.
