Public comments force IRS to hold off on new 501(c)(4) regs

In writing about the IRS’s proposed effort to silence conservatives through new regulations on 501(c)(4) organizations, we noted the enormous number of public comments being submitted in response to the regs. In the end, the number of comments exceeded 150,000.

I don’t know whether the criticisms have been heard by the IRS but their weight has been felt. Today IRS Commissioner Koskinen told an audience at the National Press Club that his agency is unlikely to finalize the proposed regulations this year.........

One very small victory for freedom of speech.

You mean close the loopholes? And are call those comments (150k out of 300 million) all negative or positive, and how manyarea result of an organized campaign?)

Do the changes specifically mention that they apply only to conservative lobbies?

Here is the change, I looked for the word conservative everywhere, but could not find it.

Or are you saying only conservative groups were abusing it, so are the only ones affected?




A determination letter or ruling recognizing exemption of an organization described in § 501(c), other than § 501(c)(29), is usually effective as of the date of formation of an organization if: (1) its purposes and activities prior to the date of the determination letter or ruling have been consistent with the requirements for exemption; (2) it has not failed to file required Form 990 series returns or notices for three consecutive years; and (3) it has filed an application for recognition of exemption within 27 months from the end of the month in which it was organized.
