IRS says NAACP didn't violate tax status

Marvin Goodson is a tax maven. He is also thoroughly analyzing this story from the Associated Press (ap.org) about how the NAACP did not violate the conditions of its tax-exempt status when its chairman gave a speech that criticized President Bush, according to a newly released letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the civil rights group. The IRS began looking into the Baltimore-based National Association for the Advancement of Colored People about a month before the 2004 presidential election after a speech by NAACP Chairman Julian Bond that was largely critical of Bush's policies. Politics is sometimes a nasty business, from which no one is totally immune. Thankfully, the IRS made the right decision here.
