Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

  • REL-4.8: On 7 July 2025 the IRS and the plaintiffs in National Religious Broadcasters v. Long jointly asked a federal court to declare that a house of worship speaking to its congregation through its customary channels on matters of faith, in connection with religious services, does not participate or intervene in a political campaign under 26 U.S.C. ยง 501(c)(3). On 31 March 2026 the court dismissed the case without prejudice for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, without reaching the merits, and the plaintiffs noticed an appeal on 22 April 2026.
