Nonprofits can’t be politically involved, the pro-life organization noted in its complaint to the IRS, which it filed electronically on August 20. “Political campaigning substantially diverges from the permissible activities and could result in revocation of tax-exempt status and possible imposition of related excise taxes,” the complaint stated. “This deployment by federally tax exempt organizations organized under...

The bill states that if the office of the Attorney General determines that a nonprofit has engaged or incited one of these acts, it would be required to notify the Franchise Tax Board, which would then revoke their California tax-exempt status.

Along with filing financial reports filled with errors and misstatements, “Big Four” accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers neglected to verify whether the Clinton Foundation obtained tax-exempt status for its various sub-entities, including its AIDS charity, contends respected Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel. As WND has reported, Ortel’s six-month investigation indicates the Clintons have diverted tens millions of dollars donated for charitable purposes to the personal enrichment of themselves and their close associates. He says PWC neglected to exercise due diligence in fulfilling its professional responsibilities in conducting even the most basic inquiries required of an honest audit. PWC, he says, failed to...

Religious institutions could be at risk of losing their tax-exempt status due to their beliefs about marriage if the Supreme Court holds that gay couples have a constitutional right to wed, President Obama’s attorney acknowledged to the Supreme Court today. “It’s certainly going to be an issue,” Solicitor General Donald Verrilli replied when Justice Samuel Alito asked if schools that support the traditional definition of marriage would have to be treated like schools that once opposed interracial marriage. “I don’t deny that.”

Interviews with current and former IRS officials outline a roadmap of the tax laws the agency would use in deciding whether to pull the nonprofit Media Matters’ tax-exempt status for stepping beyond its charitable mission of educating the public on conservative “misinformation.” In a formal petition filed with the IRS on July 27, President George W. Bush’s former White House counsel, C. Boyden Gray, has asked the IRS to revoke the nonprofit’s tax-exempt status because its "unlawful conduct" is in “violation” of U.S. tax law, due to its moves to “sabotage” the commercial interests of FOX News and News Corp.,...

David Brock, chairman and chief executive of Media Matters for America, told a news website earlier this year that his nonprofit is now moving to “sabotage” FOX News because it says the network is now the “de facto head of the GOP,” among other things. Anchors and guests appearing on FOX News have said because of such statements, the nonprofit is violating U.S. tax law. There is no indication the IRS is auditing or probing Media Matters for these alleged violations. However, interviews with current and former IRS officials, tax lawyers and tax experts, as well as a review of...
