AHA Unveils New Online Tool for Members on Schedule H
The AHA now has an interactive online tool (www.aha.org/aha/issues/Tax-Exempt-Status/schedH/default.html) to help member hospitals prepare to complete Schedule H, the new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) form for tax-exempt hospitals. Developed with Ernst & Young and Hogan and Hartson, the educational tool presents questions in the order and format required by the IRS and offers explanations, guidance and links to the IRS instructions for each question. The tool also offers sample narrative responses.
It is the latest in a series of AHA resources to help hospitals prepare for the new reporting requirements. These include Telling the Hospital Story - Going Beyond Schedule H
(www.caringforcommunities.org/caringforcommunities/content/09goingbeyondschH.pdf), which provides guidance and tools to help hospitals augment the limited information on Schedule H to ensure the full scope of community benefit is captured and communicated.
Due to the importance of Schedule H, hospitals are encouraged to create an internal team to prepare for and complete the form. The team should encompass staff from throughout the organization including legal, finance, community benefit/community relations and communications departments. Hospitals should not rely on Schedule H alone to inform their communities of the value they bring, rather use these tools to ensure an accurate Schedule H is submitted to the IRS and then go beyond the form to clearly articulate the full reach and impact of your community benefit outreach.
Contact Mandy Ayers at cbsurvey@wha.org if you have questions about the survey.
