ALBUQUERQUE – The Internal Revenue Service not only wanted a wide variety of information from the Albuquerque Tea Party‘s application for nonprofit status, it also wanted to know what contacts it had with people from other political organizations too.
That included an 83-year-old great-grandmother who was once held in a World War II internment camp, New Mexico Watchdog has discovered.
“I’ve always paid my taxes and everything,” Marianne Chiffelle told New Mexico Watchdog. “What I do think is, it doesn’t surprise me…because of this government we have at the moment.”
According to a review of documents conducted by the online news organization Politico, (in a story headlined “The IRS wants YOU — to share everything”), the IRS asked the Albuquerque Tea Party about connections to other groups, including “Marianne Chiffelle’s Breakfasts.”
That prompted us to do some digging.
It took New Mexico Watchdog less than an hour to learn that “Marianne Chiffelle’s Breakfasts” is not some restaurant chain, but a reference to the volunteer work of Chiffelle, a retiree who helps organize informal 9 a.m. meetings for members of the Bernalillo County Republican Party.

The list, Ping

When Congress and the Senate created the 501C exempt status....all they basically did was tell IRS to create some questions, and ensure only the proper folks get the exemption. Congress and the Senate didn’t write the questions or really lay out the way that you’d enter the ‘promised land’ of tax exemption.
There are 29 categories of the 501C....so you start to realize now that IRS has a vast “ZOO” of folks to go after, and write thousands of trick questions to get you into tax exempt status or fail you. A guy could put a cemetery on the back forty acres of his property, and likely qualify as a public cemetery (while only burying kin-folks).
Are they being investigated by the IRS too?
Um, that one’s scary...
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Are they being investigated by the IRS too? “
No, just taxpayers who believe in them.
Next year an IRS bureaucrat will decide on the Medical procedures that Marianne’s Medicare will pay for. Red pill or the Blue pill?
