Finding POL-5.3
Primary record Federal law does not require a 501(c)(4) to disclose its contributors' names to the public. Since Rev. Proc. 2018-38 (July 2018) and T.D. 9898 (28 May 2020), the organization also does not report contributor names and addresses to the IRS on Schedule B, and the IRS public data files show every Schedule B donor field as RESTRICTED.
Finding POL-5.16
Open question The public record does not show the original donors behind 501(c)(4) transfers to super PACs. The IRS public data file shows every Schedule B donor field as RESTRICTED, and the IRS no longer collects contributor names from 501(c)(4) organizations.
