Tax Lawyer Advises Jeff Bezos To Use Social Welfare Organization For His Philanthropy

One of the things that would hold donors back from funding 501(c)(4) was uncertainty about whether such gifts would be subject to gift tax.  IRS revenue agents looking into that possibility provided some grist for the seemingly endless IRS scandal as disclosed by a Judicial Watch document dump that I covered here.  Congress fixed that in 2015.  There is still an estate tax issue but Mr. Miller indicates there is a fix to that.   It is pretty technical, so I will let you dig that out of his article if it is worrying you.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
