TREAS/IRS RIN: 1545-BL81 Publication ID: Spring 2014 
Title: Guidance Under Section 501(c)(4) 
Abstract: The proposed regulations provide guidance under section 501(c)(4) regarding qualification requirements for tax-exemption as a social welfare organization. The proposed regulations would amend current regulations by indicating that the promotion of social welfare does not include "candidate-related political activity," a term defined in detail in the proposed regulations. The proposed regulations also seek initial comments on other aspects of the section 501(c)(4) qualification requirements, including what proportion of an organization's activities must promote social welfare and whether other types of tax-exempt organizations, including section 501(c)(5) (labor) and section 501(c)(6) (business) organizations, should be subject to a similar standard.
