IRS Recognizes 'Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft' for Lesbian Feminists as Church for Tax Purposes
Christian Post ^ | 08/10/2018 | Leonardo Blair

Posted on 08/10/2018 7:35:53 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The IRS has reportedly recognized the Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft as a legitimate church.

The Maryland-based group is dedicated exclusively to lesbian feminists.

Peter Reilly, a CPA for over 30 years focusing on taxation, first reported the new designation in a blog post for Forbes.

"The IRS recognized it as a 501(c)(3) organization and went the extra step of recognizing PCMW as a church, the most enviable of all tax statuses exempt not only from income tax but also from the transparency that filing Form 990 creates," Reilly wrote.

"A church does not have to apply for exempt status, but it is a prudent step particularly for an innovative organization like PCMW. My source indicated that the approval process was reasonably quick and there was no push-back from the IRS," he added.

The Christian Post reached out to the IRS for confirmation of the designation Wednesday but officials noted that they are prevented by law from discussing individual cases.

A determination letter on the church, publicly available on the IRS' website dated May 2017, notes that the IRS initially recognized the Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft as a private foundation that was required to file Form 990-PF disclosure forms or risk losing their tax exempt status if they failed to file for three consecutive years.

"Some organizations that identify themselves as churches may appear on the Automatic Revocation of Exemption List (Auto-Revocation List) because IRS records do not identify them as churches, but rather as some other type of organization that has an annual filing requirement," explains an IRS advisory.

Since last May however, the Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft appears to have legally maneuvered their way out of that classification but it is unclear when exactly this happened.

The church did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

This is the lesser of two evils. I for one don’t want the Federal Government deciding what is and is not a “church”.

If we had a consumption only tax, no deductions, we wouldn’t have the IRS making these kinds of rulings.

Which is not an argument against the “pussy church,” it’s an argument against a tax system that can make such determinations.

RE: Now they’re getting rediculous

Actually, I call the IRS a dangerous organization that WEAPONIZES this privilege of deciding who will or will not be tax exempt.

The fact that they will recognize this “church” and NOT Tea Party organizations is but one evidence of that.

President Trump has a website to send him information. I suggest all this outrageous BS be sent to The Donald. Whomever reads the website posts can forward to the appropriate staff.

“Pussy Church of Modern Witchcraft “

Sounds like it would be a late night 1980’s Cinamax(”skin-a-max”) show.

First question I want to ask is this -- are Transgenders allowed?

Only because they dropped the word “Patriot” from their church title.

I don’t like ‘Consumption Tax’.. I don’t believe in punishing those who stimulate the economy.. As with ‘Fair tax’, I’m concerned too many would find loopholes or cheat. I would much rather see a ‘Flat Tax’ of say 11% for everyone and everything.

Fine with me. Anything that reduces the presence of the IRS in our economy, our lives, to a minimum is good.

Female born! What the heck? Thought the left was making bio-gender a crime! Is this another crack in the pot of the idiot democRat psych ward? If a Male Born Church of Wizards gets the blessing of the tax gods, will the pussy church go to war?

Didn’t know that. I have seen evidence that we are read here by his people too. But I’ll check that out Red.

And those above her who either ok'd what she did or gave her the marching orders to do so right on up to the usurper. In a just world he would already be in Leavenworth. They all would.
