(WBOY) A political action committee (PAC) called End Citizens United has filed a complaint against No Labels with the West Virginia Secretary of State and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over the group’s 501(c)(4) tax status.

In a press release, End Citizens United said “No Labels cannot be considered a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization as its work primarily benefits the No Labels Party, and does not meet the minimum 50% threshold of promoting social welfare. Instead, it appears that nearly the entirety of No Labels’ spending is on political activity.”
End Citizens United argued in its IRS complaint that since No Labels is “primarily benefiting private individuals—the No Labels Party […] its primary purpose is not promoting social welfare and instead it is primarily engaged in political activity,” and shouldn’t be able to claim tax exempt status.
