IRS Strips Non-Profit Status of Local Groups
23 Levittown groups affected by the automatic action of the IRS.
Several Levittown 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 23 in Levittown, 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.
“We filed and we have proof that we filed," said Ann Trovica, President of Levittown Kiwanis, one of the organizations on the revoked list. “It is not true.”
