Tax-Exempt Organizations


Book Description

Millions of donors annually give hundreds of billions of dollars to charities. While this giving helps meet charitable purposes, congressional & media concerns have arisen about whether some charities spend too much on fundraising & general management & not enough on program services to meet the charitable purposes related to the tax-exempt status. Such concerns have heightened since the outflow of charitable giving after 9/11. This report focuses on the adequacy of: (1) publicly reported Form 990 data on charity spending in facilitating public oversight of charities, (2) IRS's oversight of charities, & (3) IRS's data sharing with state agencies that oversee charities. Includes reviews of studies on charities from 1994-1999. Charts & tables.




Political Organizations


Book Description

Certain tax-exempt org's. seeking to influence political elections -- called Section 527 org's. -- are estimated to annually spend hundreds of millions of dollars. In Fed. elections, these org's. have been able to use unregulated "soft money" for indirect or "issue advocacy." In July 2000, Congress passed P.L. 106-230 to require Section 527 org's. to provide the IRS with data on their purposes, officers, contributors, and expenses. The objectives of this report are to determine the extent to which IRS: discloses to the public in an accessible manner the data that Section 527 org's. file with IRS, (2) oversees Section 527 org's. compliance with the specified filing requirements, and (3) develops a strategic plan for carrying out its new responsibilities.
