Useful information on 501(c)(4)s and 527s and the IRS's scrutiny dilemma

Monday, May 20, 2013 5:34

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

A fellow tax professor at Loyola University, Ellen Aprill, has put together a useful powerpoint on the way political activity comes into play in deciding whether an organization is eligible for 501(c)(4) status or should instead be treated as a 527 organization that is required to disclose donors.

Perhaps if most people understood the importance of this distinction (and the difficulties created by the lenient tax administration position that an organization can be “exclusively” focused on social welfare activities as long as it “primarily” is), some of the brouhaha over the IRS use of “tea party” and other terms to select applications for extra scrutiny would fade away.
