CAIR Loses Tax-Exempt Status

[bobbyw24]

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has lost its tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service for failing to file legally required annual reports for three consecutive years, the federal agency said. CAIR is one of 275,000 groups targeted by the IRS for being out of compliance with filing requirements. “The IRS believes the vast majority of these organizations are defunct, but it also announced special steps to help any existing organizations to apply for reinstatement of their tax-exempt status,” the agency said in announcing the action.

The new rules come from congressional action in 2006 under the Pension Protection Act that automatically revokes the tax-exempt status of groups that fail to comply.

The reporting rules were in the Act because, of course, we all know how pensions have everything to do with the tax exempt status of organizations. /sarcasm
