RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina’s influential state chapter of the NAACP has lost its federal tax-exempt status for failing to file tax returns for three years, according to the federal government.
The state chapter has been a prominent voice in decrying the policies of the state’s Republican-controlled legislature, including challenging voter access laws in recent years. Earlier this month, the civil rights group scored a victory when the state Supreme Court ruled a lower court must consider nullifying a voter ID mandate approved by citizens in 2018.
The loss of tax-exempt status became public weeks after former state chapter president The Rev. T. Anthony Spearman was found dead in his home. A cause of death has not been released. Spearman, who lost a bid in 2021 for reelection to lead the state chapter, had filed a lawsuit against state and national NAACP officials accusing them of defaming him and conspiring to remove him from the presidency.

Anyone gotta violin handy?
That’s a start......
Dat raycis!
Those CPs need to get their act together.
that’s a shame
Here I thought they might have lost their tax status because they caught them supporting republicans. 😋
Joey showing black people what he thinks of them and the power he has.
Unity huh Moe.
They can file for reinstatement and pay a penalty.
The Bass Turds don’t pay their taxes and are against voters being required to show an ID to vote. I’m starting to see a pattern here. They’re a bunch of far left jackasses.
The NAACP is a political organization, as are many other tax-exempt organizations.
They should all pay their fair share. ;)
Reversal coming in 3...2...1, because raciss.
The organization was allowed to ignore or neglect their fiscal duties for three years. Even for a corrupted, hired- gun-of-the-Dem-Party IRS we now have, that was pushing it too much. Time to get your act together!
Too bad, so sad.
They can file an appeal with valid reasons, or reapply.
I’m sure someone there knows how to file Form 990.
It’s not rocket surgery.

Hee Hee Hee
(sorry about the passing of their former leader, though)
When’s the IRS gonna find the testicular fortitude to jail Al Sharpton for the more than $2.5m in unpaid taxes + fines he’s owed for YEARS now???
That seems really unfair. Shouldn't racist organizations such as the NAACP be totally tax-exempt?
/s
Feeding alligator, hoping he eats you last.....
Bad move for Joe, etal. Betcha Trump is grinning and ordering more MAGA hats.
So was there missing money and big spending personally going on?
