Americans for Tax Reform, the politically active nonprofit headed by longtime antitax activitst Grover Norquist, raised and spent nearly $31 million in 2012, according to its tax filing for the year -- a new record for the group.

In addition, the vast majority of ATR's funds -- $26.4 million, or 85 percent -- came from Crossroads GPS, the 800-pound-gorilla among conservative dark money nonprofits that are highly politically active and don't disclose their donors. That means that ATR used at least a sizable portion of the Crossroads grant to fund its political ads, even given the fact that it is difficult to trace how any single donated dollar is spent.
Crossroads, which was cofounded by GOP strategist Karl Rove, made $35.1 million in grants to other nonprofits last year, including the large grant to ATR, according to its own tax forms, also filed on Friday but not available until today. Rove's group counts its grants to other 501(c)(4) groups toward its social welfare spending, which must be a majority of what it does, the IRS says.
