IRS Removes Tax-Exempt Status Of 275,000 Groups

[Purveyor]

(06-08) 16:37 PDT WASHINGTON, (AP) --

The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday that 275,000 organizations have lost their tax-exempt status because they failed to file required annual reports for three straight years.

The tax agency said it believed that the vast majority of those groups are no longer in existence, but it said it was setting up procedures to help those companies that sought reinstatement.

The IRS posted a list of the organizations on its website: www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id239696,00.html.

IRS data shows that there were more than 1.8 million tax-exempt organizations in 2010. About two-thirds of those are religious and charitable organizations, but also included are labor and agriculture organizations, business leagues, social and recreation clubs, war veterans' groups and others.
