Increased Public Access to 501(c)(4) Tax-Exempt Organization Filings.
This law increases transparency for social welfare organizations (501(c)(4) groups) that are exempt from federal taxes. It requires that the initial notices these groups file with the government to start operating must be made public. This change allows citizens to easily review which organizations are seeking tax-exempt status, enhancing public oversight.
Key points
Greater transparency: Initial notices filed by 501(c)(4) organizations will become publicly available, treated like formal tax exemption applications.
Citizens gain access to information about groups seeking tax-exempt status for social welfare purposes.
