IRS Strips Non-Profit Status of Local Groups

20 East Meadow groups affected by the automatic action of the IRS.

Several East Meadow organizations had their tax exemption status revoked by the Internal Revenue Service on Wednesday, according to the New York Times.

Over 275,000 organizations throughout the country were affected by this move, including the 20 in East Meadow, which ranged from trade associations, labor unions and more. According to the IRS, this occurred when the organizations did not file the required reports for three consecutive years.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 requires almost all non-profits to file annually. Though the IRS said that many of these organizations are probably defunct, there is a process online that allows for a reinstatement of the tax-exempt status.
