Complaints about Activities of
Exempt Organizations
Where do I send complaints
about the activities/operations of tax-exempt organizations?
If you believe that the
activities or operations of a tax-exempt
organization are inconsistent
with its tax-exempt status, you may
file a complaint with the Exempt
Organizations Examination Division, at the
following address:
IRS EO Classification
Mail Code 4910
1100 Commerce Street
Dallas, TX 75242
You may also use
Form 13909,
Tax-Exempt Organization Complaint (Referral) Form, for this
purpose. The complaint should contain all relevant facts
concerning the alleged violation of tax law.
The IRS cannot advise you
of any action it has taken or may take in response to a complaint. The
confidentiality and disclosure provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code
preclude the Service from discussing matters relating to any activity it
might undertake regarding the tax-exempt status of an entity with anyone
other than the principal officers or authorized representatives of that
entity. These provisions were enacted by Congress to protect the
privacy of all taxpayers.
The IRS maintains an
active examination program to ensure that tax-exempt organizations, as
well as taxpayers, meet the requirements imposed on them by the Internal
Revenue Code.
