(Florida Phoenix) The political action committee End Citizens United is urging the IRS and the state of Florida to investigate the nonprofit status of No Labels, a newly formed political party.
[…]
“In its attempt to run a third-party presidential ticket, No Labels is abusing its nonprofit status in Florida and we believe … Wilton Simpson (Florida Agriculture Commissioner) should investigate and hold them accountable,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller in a written statement issued on Monday. “No Labels is a shadowy dark money political group that is grossly exploiting Florida laws which are designed to benefit legitimate social welfare organizations. If No Labels’ corrupt charade continues unchecked, it will set a dangerous precedent for future elections.”
End Citizens United supports Democratic candidates and has filed complaints with the IRS and individual states where No Labels is registered to receive charitable contributions, alleging that they have violated their nonprofit status.
In a Jan. 23, 2024 letter to the IRS in Dallas, End Citizens United stated:
“No Labels no longer operates ‘exclusively for the promotion of social welfare’ as required by section 501(c)(4). Instead, the organization appears to operate primarily to convey a non-incidental private benefit to the No Labels Party to oppose the candidacies of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Its activities are therefore in furtherance of a substantial nonexempt purpose. For these reasons, we respectfully urge the IRS to take immediate action to investigate whether the organization’s 501(c)(4) status should be revoked.”
