AHA Wants IRS to Alter New Hospital Reporting Form to Help Hospital Systems

The American Hospital Association is asking the Internal Revenue Service to improve the new hospital community benefit reporting form to better reflect not-for-profit hospitals’ benefits to their communities, according to a release from the AHA.

The AHA contends that information gathered on the form, Schedule H to Form 990, obscures cross-subsidies used for community benefit activities provided by hospital systems, which represent 60 percent of not-for-profit hospitals.

Without the change, Schedule H would not be an accurate tool to gather information on community benefit reporting, the AHA maintains.
