…The IRS’s new approach is the latest in a string of triumphs for #conservative #Christian groups, which are leveraging their alliance with #Trump to redraw boundaries between #ChurchAndState.
For now, the implications of this latest victory are unclear. On paper, the new #IRS policy appears narrow. It grants more freedom only to houses of worship, which the agency already seemed disinclined to police.

At #Trump’s request, Jeffress’s #church sent the White House Faith Office a 7-page letter outlining what it called “wrongful weaponization” of the #law & the “unlawful targeting of our church.” The letter, obtained by NYT, included recommended actions, & a mention of a Texas lawsuit, which offered a vehicle to declare that the law was wrong.
3 months later, #conservative #Christians scored a major victory.

Seated across from #Trump that April night, Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, told the president about how his #church faced an #IRS inquiry over its #TaxExempt status under the #Biden admin, after hosting a rally with #political figures.
Franklin Graham, the son of the #evangelist Billy Graham, who runs a large ministry with his father’s name, chimed in that his groups had faced similar IRS inquiries during President Barack #Obama’s tenure.

House Republicans look to help Trump strip tax-exempt status of nonprofits he says support terrorism
By ALEXA ST. JOHN and MATTHEW DALY
Updated 1:37 PM EDT, May 13, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "A proposal by Republicans in Congress would allow President Donald Trump’s administration to remove the tax-exempt status of nonprofits that it says support #terrorism, creating what some #nonprofits say is an arbitrary standard to financially punish #charities that advocate for issues that don’t align with his agenda.
"Unusual language added Monday to a reconciliation bill from the House Ways and Means Committee — the tax-writing committee — would allow for terminating the tax-exempt status of groups the administration deems 'terrorist supporting organizations.' The language mirrors a bill from the last Congress that passed in the House but did not pass the Senate.
"The definition and criteria for determining whether or how an organization supports terrorism are unclear. The bill also targets nonprofits in other ways, echoing complaints by Trump, who has called the tax-exempt status a 'privilege' that has been 'abused.' Trump has threatened to revoke tax-exempt status for groups that don’t abide by his directives or agree with his views."
[...]
"Michelle Roos, executive director of the Environmental Protection Network, which represents hundreds of former scientists and regulators, said last month 'we all pay the price' when charitable organizations are silenced based on politics.
"For example, the move to revoke #TaxExempt status could choke off funding for groups that urge greater action to promote clean air, water and land, work to help communities most affected by industrial pollution and advocate for projects and policies to combat #ClimateChange — among other issues.
" 'It threatens the rights, health, and future of every community,' Roos said in a statement.
Last month, Trump said he could target environmental groups and the ethics watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington."

You Need to Know about #HealthCare Sharing #Ministries
https://thehumanist.com/news/national/you-need-to-know-about-health-care-sharing-ministries
#Healthcaresharingministries are #taxexempt #religious organizations that pretend to offer products better than real #healthinsurance, with promises of low costs and caring for the “whole person.” These ministries have zero obligation to reimburse any #medicalexpenses. The result is families surprised with steep #medicaldebt, confusing limitations, and curt responses to their pleas for help.

#Harvard is among the vast majority of public & private #universities & #colleges that are #TaxExempt.
Under the #law, the #IRS initiates investigations based on established criteria & procedures, not based on presidential directives. The IRS is expected to operate independently & without political pressure.
If the IRS found that Harvard’s tax-exempt status should be revoked, Harvard would be given notice & an opportunity to contest the finding in court.

This is 100% not within his power & is totally #illegal.
#Trump on Friday said he planned to strip #Harvard University of its #TaxExempt status, the latest salvo against the Ivy League school amid a larger crackdown on elite #US #universities.
"We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status. It’s what they deserve!" Trump said in a post on his social media platform, without specifying when [or how] he might take action.

In recent weeks & days, the #Trump admin began a review of $9B in federal contracts & grants to #Harvard; called for restrictions including a #MaskBan & *#DEI* removal; threatened to strip Harvard of its #TaxExempt status; & demanded info on some #visa holders at Harvard w/ a threat to take away its ability to enroll #foreign #students.
Harvard on Monday rejected numerous demands that it said would cede control to the govt. The Trump admin subsequently said it was freezing $2.3B in funding.

#TaxExempt status is available to charitable, religious & #educational orgs, as well as social welfare groups. But the organizations must strictly adhere to tax laws that prohibit them from engaging in certain political activity. There is NO proof that #Harvard violated any of those guardrails.
“The #IRS is supposed to administer the tax rules impartially, not pursue political #vendettas against exempt organizations,”said Steve Rosenthal, who served as snr fellow at the #TaxPolicy Center. -

Agreed. Churches are in the public interest, BUT this is playing with fire. A better approach: any group that advocates in a partisan fashion should lose 501(c)(3) status. Churches should advocate for the Kingdom and not for particular parties, so I'm perfectly fine with churches that act like GOP or Democratic operatives losing their status, if applied uniformly.. https://x.com/brad_polumbo/status/1912149595380924918

#Trump again escalated his admin’s fight w/ #Harvard by threatening its #TaxExempt status after the school defied his demands to change its policies in exchange for billions of federal #funding.
“Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status & be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, & terrorist inspired/supporting “Sickness?” Trump posted…. “Remember, Tax Exempt Status is totally contingent on acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST!”

Last week House of Representatives passed a dangerous bill (#HR9495) that would allow the Secretary of Treasury to strip a #US nonprofit of its #taxexempt status. Future administrations could weaponize the powers in this bill to target nonprofits on either end of the political spectrum. Even if they are not targeted, the threat alone could chill the activities of some nonprofit organizations.

The #CitizensUnited decision — which extended #FreeSpeechRights to #corporations, #nonprofits & #unions — effectively curbed efforts to rein in #political spending, while paving the way for follow-up rulings from courts & the #FEC that would unleash additional billions of dollars in donations.
