| CAIR loses tax itemizaztion status | |
| 2011-06-30 | |
| Donations to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) no longer are tax deductible after the organization was among 275,000 tax-exempt organizations purged earlier this month by the Internal Revenue Service. The groups failed to file required annual reports, known as form 990s, detailing their revenues and expenses, for three consecutive years. CAIR had been a non-profit on its own, but in 2007, the IRS approved a separate tax-exempt CAIR Foundation. The foundation never filed any subsequent reports. Both the foundation and CAIR national are on the purge list. Note: if you donated to CAIR before June 22, you can still claim the itemization as the finding is not retroactive - also CAIR could file the required paperwork and be reinstated - although they will might claim "Islamophobia" and try to get Dennis K or Sheila L J to submit legislation to give them a special status.
