FFRF and North Carolina Chapter given “green light” from federal judge to proceed with IRS Form 990 lawsuit
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, along with fellow plaintiff The Triangle Freethought Society of North Carolina, were awarded standing on Aug. 22, 2013 by a U.S. District Judge from Wisconsin to pursue another of their three lawsuits against the IRS. FFRF is challenging an IRS rule preempting religious nonprofits from having to file the financial accountability Form 990, one that is required by all other nonprofits to submit annually. A ruling in favor of FFRF’s complaint would make the financial information of U.S. religious nonprofits available to the public.
