Book excerpt: Religious organizations occupy an enviable legal stature in American society, receiving over 200 exemptions and other regulatory breaks in federal legislation over the last 18 years alone. Religious organizations enjoy numerous federal as well as state and local tax exemptions representing hundreds of billions of dollars in foregone revenue. The propriety of these lucrative tax exemptions must be questioned when religious organizations engage in discrimination against members of society. As illustrated in real-life occurrences contained in pages 3 and 4 of the article, ostensibly widespread discrimination by such organizations exists not only with respect to employment, but more importantly in providing services or engaging in activities for which the organization was originally granted tax-exempt status (e.g., education). The primary bases for such discrimination are currently sexual orientation and marital status.In a prior article published in the WISCONSIN LAW REVIEW, I proposed a solution to the problem of discrimination by charitable organizations (a term commonly interpreted to include religious organizations) - enact a broad and well-defined nondiscrimination condition on tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Inherent in that proposal is the notion that discrimination by charitable organizations is intrinsically incompatible with such organizations' purpose and mission. Although my prior article briefly addressed the constitutional and other difficulties inherent in applying a nondiscrimination requirement to religious organizations, it acknowledged the necessity of additional and more thorough discussion on the issue - thus, the focus of this Article. Accordingly, this Article examines the propriety and constitutionality of subjecting religious organizations to a nondiscrimination requirement and crafting a more narrow church exception to that requirement. It proposes statutory and regulatory amendments to prevent certain church-affiliated organizations from avoiding the nondiscrimination requirement.

This book was released on 2008-04-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2008 Supplement generally covers developments since the book was published, which basically means developments during 2007 such as: The new Form 990. Despite its size, complexity, and overreaching, this thing is a work of art. For large organizations, proper preparation of this return is going to be a mighty feat. Much new "law" is embedded in this form. In the context of nonprofit law, there has never been anything like this new Form 990.Other sets of rules are flowing, such as those pertaining to tax-exempt organizations and prohibited tax shelter transactions. (The biggest misstep by the agency in 2007 emerged, nonetheless, in the form of the draft of the IRS' good governance principles an unhelpful, poorly written, sometimes wacky document that should never have been issued, if only because the Division has more important things to do, and perhaps may be allowed a quiet demise.)Private letter rulings, some of them quite interesting, continue to tumble out of the agency. The IRS has made great progress in reducing its inventory of pending applications for recognition of exemption. IRS audits of exempt organizations, along with a host of compliance check projects, are on the rise.Back to the IRS, there are two momentous developments in the making. One is the forthcoming research and compliance initiative involving tax-exempt colleges and universities, with emphasis on these institutions' adherence to the unrelated business rules and operation of endowment funds. The other is the IRS' growing reliance on technology in the exempt organizations area, such as development of an electronic determinations case processing and tracking system (the TE/GE Determination System (TEDS)), the emerging Cyber Assistant to guide preparers of applications for recognition of exemption, and Internet-based workshops and educational material.

Download or read book Taxes Tithes It s Your Money written by Willie F. Peterson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-12-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There''s a quotation that says; "there are two things for certain in life and they are death and taxes.''* This book addresses for faith and community organizations both of them, the death of their organization if their not compliant with the laws that govern non-profit organizations and if they are interested, how they may qualify for government and foundation funds. This resource guide is written to train and educate congregations about their role in the Faith-Based and Community Initiative. Note: this guide is not for everyone. There are many faith partners that believe receiving government funding is a curse. All I am saying here is if you desire or are already seeking; funding you should be wise to the laws that govern you. It was the discussions with pastors who doubt the faith based initiative that lead me to write this guide. The premise is simple. Since individuals and congregations pay taxes, they are entitled to receive those funds through federal, state and local grants and put them back into the community in which they live.

Download or read book Why the IRS Should Want to Develop Rules Regarding Charities and Politics written by Ellen P. Aprill and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, often referred to as charities, cannot, at risk of loss of exemption, “participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements) any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” That is, they are subject to a campaign intervention prohibition. These organizations cannot endorse or oppose a candidate for public office or contribute to the candidate's campaign. The IRS has long interpreted this campaign intervention prohibition broadly. An applicable regulation, for example, refers to violating the prohibition “directly or indirectly.” Revenue Ruling 2007-41, the most recent and comprehensive official IRS pronouncement on the subject, explains that “[w]hether an organization is participating or intervening, directly or indirectly, in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office depends upon all of the facts and circumstances of each case.” How the IRS interprets, communicates, and enforces the campaign intervention prohibition, particularly indirect intervention, has been - and continues to be - a matter of controversy. Representatives from the charitable community, both before and after the publication of Revenue Ruling 2007-41, have urged greater clarity regarding the criteria for campaign intervention. A number of commentators have suggested that current rules may be unconstitutionally vague and that, to avoid this problem, violation of the campaign intervention prohibition be limited to activities involving express advocacy. This difference between the IRS and the charitable community rehearses the difference between rules and standards. As Louis Kaplow has explained in an influential article, Rules Versus Standards: An Economic Analysis, the choice between rules and standards involves “the extent to which a given aspect of a legal command should be resolved in advance or left to an enforcement authority to consider.” By asking the IRS for clarity and bright lines in defining the prohibition, the charitable community emphasizes a key ex ante consideration, the impact of guidance on appropriate charitable behavior. By offering a multifactor approach dependent on the particular situation, the IRS stresses an equally important ex post consideration, the impact of guidance on enforcement. Both set of considerations, of course, have a place in any calculus. Kaplow's article, however, sets out a framework to help those that must give content to legal commands guidance on how to decide whether to frame such content as rules or standards. This article argues that, under Kaplow's analysis, the IRS's own concern for encouraging compliance by those subject to the law should lead it to develop more rules in this area. That is, this article emphasizes why the IRS itself should want to promulgate rules. Part I sets forth Kaplow's analytical framework, which demands consideration not only of levels of enforcement but also how the affected community will choose to learn about the legal command in any decision between embodying legal commands as rules or as standards. Part II describes the legal commands at issue. Part III considers aspects of Kaplow's analysis related to enforcement. It examines the available sanctions, the numbers of parties subject to enforcement actions, and the kinds of sanctions in fact imposed. Part IV discusses the nature of the affected community and how members of the community will seek legal advice. Part V addresses a question Kaplow mentions frequently, but only in passing - the underlying norms a statutory command reflects. This part discusses both the legislative purpose in enacting the prohibition and attitudes toward its constitutionality. Part VI considers arguments against rules, both generally and as applied to tax law. Part VII applies the Kaplow analysis to all these considerations and concludes that the IRS should invest the time to develop a set of rules. Part VIII concludes.
