On advice of counsel, I am losing not one second of sleep over this comical "challenge."
Donations to FactCheck.org are deductible because we are a part of the University of Pennsylvania, a 501(c)3 organization. So if Polland has actually filed some challenge against FactCheck.org as he claims — and I’ve seen nothing either from him or from the IRS to confirm that — then he’s challenged the wrong legal entity.
Should he realize his error and try to correct it, I think he’ll have zero chance of making a case that an Ivy League university should not be tax exempt.
I’m also mystified at his claim to have filed something with the Federal Election Commission, which has no jurisdiction over tax matters.
That’s a big OOPS, Ron. In my earlier article on Polland’s challenge, I omitted the part about the Federal Election Commission because it didn’t make any sense to me either and I was trying to avoid “piling on.”Donations to FactCheck.org are deductible because we are a part of the University of Pennsylvania, a 501(c)3 organization.
