Tag: 501(c) organization

Here’s the headline on CNN’s story: NRA and some other nonprofits will no longer need to identify their donors to the IRS And here’s the opening to the piece: Some nonprofit groups will no longer have to give the IRS the names of donors who give them $5,000 or more. Among the groups that will no longer have to report donors are the National Rifle Association, various chambers of commerce, and groups focused on particular issues, such as Americans for Prosperity, which has been closely associated with the Koch brothers. The change applies to every single 501(c)(4) in America. Or SEIU. Or Everytown for Gun Safety. Or the Sierra Club. Will No Longer Force Kochs and Other Groups to Disclose Donors The Times notes that “varied” groups will benefit from this change, which is true. They must have been plucked from the air . USA Today‘s story sits under the headline, “Trump administration won’t force NRA, Kochs to disclose donors to IRS,” and starts like this: The Trump administration will no longer force some tax-exempt organizations, including politically active groups such as the National Rifle Association, to identify their contributors to federal tax officials. What’s “media bias”?
