In this case it\u2019s nonprofits. The IRS recently came up with a proposal for nonprofits to collect the Social Security Number of donors\u2019 to tea-party and some Christian groups. There\u2019s still a lot of outrage going on due to the fact that some groups had applications delayed; some were asked to promise that they would not oppose Planned Parenthood etc.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"pullquote\">The big concern for some is that this is a sure sign of government overreach when donors, of some organizations, will be flagged if they give at least $250 in one year.<\/span> This could very well stop people from donation to worthy causes. As such, donations that are written off are well into the billions of dollars. Could this be a tax base that the government will no longer be able tap into if the \u2018giving well\u2019 dries up?<\/p>\n<p>Beyond politics, it\u2019s should be the hope of everyone to benefit from non-partisan actions and policies by any government agency. Fairness instills confidence in the system. It also helps ensure that whoever is at the helm will administer programs justly and fairly. This merits watching very closely.<\/p>\n<p>Check out more <a href=\"https:\/\/getirshelp.com\/blog\/category\/irs-news\/\">IRS News<\/a> stories by clicking that link.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"rank-math-contact-info wpseo_map_compat\"><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"rank-math-contact-info wpseo_address_compat show-address show-address-only\"><div class=\"rank-math-contact-section rank-math-contact-address\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><div class=\"rank-math-contact-info wpseo_opening_hours_compat\"><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#039;s the version of tax resolution the late-night commercials sell you.
