Explain the purpose of "intermediate sanctions."

What will be an ideal response?


Intermediate sanctions exist to allow the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to assess penalties on a not-for-profit organization when a transaction confers a substantial benefit on a disqualified person. A disqualified person is one who has substantial influence over the organization's affairs. Examples of excess benefit transactions include unreasonable compensation, sales of assets at bargain prices, and lease arrangements. Intermediate sanctions allow the IRS to penalize the organization and the disqualified party who received the benefits rather than revoking the not-for-profit's tax-exempt status (its other option).
