Bruce Olson Biography :

Mr. Olson is a leader in Utah in organizing and advising nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations, including some of the largest private foundations, universities, health care institutuions, and charities in the State, as well as small tax-exempt organizations. He prepares organizational documents, helps secure tax exemption from the IRS and provides advice on charitable solicitation matters, Board member duties and State and Federal tax matters. His numerous contacts with the Utah State Tax Commission and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assist in resolving complex legal circumstances. As principal drafter of the Utah's Nonprofit Corporation Act, he is in an exceptional position to advise Utah nonprofit corporations concerning their statutory rights and duties.



Tax Planning and Tax Controversies

Mr. Olson provides tax planning advice to new and existing limited liability companies, corporations, and partnerships. He advises boards of directors and officers concerning their duties, counsels organizations relative to filing positions on tax returns and assists them in complying with tax and business requirements. Mr. Olson also has many years experience handling controversies for taxpayers before the IRS and State Tax Commission, including representation at the audit level, appeals division, and filing documents in court. Mr. Olson has been a member and chair of numerous IRS practitioner liaison groups. These working relationships with government officials have provided Mr. Olson important contacts to help resolve Federal and State tax disputes.



State Taxation

Mr. Olson has advised taxpayers concerning their rights and duties under Utah state law and has represented their interests before administrative tribunals and in court. His counsel extends to both profit and nonprofit entities and includes all types of State and local taxes. He has sat on numerous boards and practitioner groups and reviewed program initiatives of the Tax Commission before they were made public. His practice includes providing tax opinions. Mr. Olson maintains an AV rating with Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating awarded to attorneys for professional competence and ethics. He has also been named as one of The Best Lawyers in America in Tax Law, and has also been voted by his peers throughout the state as one of Utah’s Legal Elite in the categories of Government Law and Taxes/Estates/Trusts (as published in Utah Business Magazine).
