Cohousing-L Mailing List: Revoking federal tax-exempt status (Was Re: Cohousing in DC paper The Hill today)

[Liz Ryan Cole (lizryancole]

There is a lot of fear out there. Fight fear with facts. (Maybe also listen to 
All Shall Be Well Again Gordon Bok, Ann May Muir, and Ed Trickett)  :) 

This is from The Non-Profit Times. 
Neither the president, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of 
the Treasury, or the IRS have the ability to revoke the federal tax-exempt 
status of any entity through Executive Order or with the mere stroke of a pen. 
There are well-established procedures for revoking federal tax exemption.

Those procedures require individual case-by-case IRS audits of each 
organization, with ample opportunity for the entity to defend itself, and 
including multiple routes of appeal.
