275,000 charities lose their tax exemption.
Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 10:09AM According to IR-2011-63 (June 8, 2011), the IRS has announced that approximately 275,000 organizations have had their tax exemption administratively revoked. Approximately 7,000 of those organizations are in Washington State. A state by state searchable list of the revoked organizations can be found here. Publication of an organization's name on the Auto-Revocation List serves as notice to donors that the organization is no longer eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. If a charity has its exemption automatically revoked, it will have to request a reinstatement from the IRS for which more information can be found here.
