  • I remember I did look into it years ago and at one point there was a fairly legitimate reason.

    The decision to enforce revoking tax exemption was directly assigned to a specific position according to law, but various changes to the IRS structure had removed and combined positions. So the position the law specifically says must make that determination, didn’t exist anymore.

    It probably could be argued in court that the other powers of that position were moved to another position and clearly that power should as well, it was just an oversight, but that would rely on the courts and common sense rather than the law as written.

    I’m 99% sure this was fixed years ago in one of the various changes to the tax code, but at one point the law as written meant no one could revoke exemptions.







  • It’s already illegal for them to do so, it just needs to be enforced. It doesn’t even need a massive division.

    Have someone look through their social media for political commentary, and send someone to sit in on a random day and see if politics is brought up during a service. Then handle it accordingly. It’s pretty straight forward here, either they are discussing politics or they’re not. If they are, revoke their tax exemption.
