1. Treasury, IRS issue proposed guidance for tax-exempt social welfare organizations
Treasury and the IRS today issued proposed new guidance on the requirements to qualify as tax-exempt social welfare organizations under 501(c)(4). See news release.
The proposal – which Treasury and the IRS are seeking feedback on – is aimed at providing much more clarity on the question of what kinds of political campaign activity do not promote social welfare. It would replace the current “facts and circumstances” test with more definitive rules that would make the process easier for applicants and the IRS alike.
