Protect the Voice of the Nonprofit Sector: Support Bright Lines for the Proposed IRS 501(c)(4) Regulations

Protect the Voice of the Nonprofit Sector: Support Bright Lines for the Proposed IRS 501(c)(4) Regulations

In November 2013, Treasury and the IRS proposed new guidance governing the political activity of 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations and announced a public comment period expiring February 27, 2014. Independent Sector applauds the IRS for taking an important first step in clarifying the rules for political activity by tax exempt organizations. The proposed guidance, however, contains a number of troubling elements, and the proposal warrants significant revision before it becomes public law. We urge all tax exempt organizations to make their voice heard on this important issue and prevent the potentially harmful impact of these regulations, which have major implications for all exempt organizations, including 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. Independent Sector will submit comments to the IRS and we invite you to add your organization’s name to this submission.
