Churches, unlike other 501(c)(3) organizations do not have to file Form 990 which provides transparency to their transactions. I am calling upon all Americans to insist on full financial disclosure by churches and religious organizations, and the first step towards full disclosure is to insist that churches and religious organizations file an IRS form 990. One thing that Nonbelief Relief did not do is file Form 990. “The IRS has revoked Nonbelief Relief’s tax exemption for failure to file information returns, even though virtually all churches in America fail to file such returns while not endangering their tax exemption. The donations Nonbelief Relief receives would very likely be characterized as gifts, and thus continue to be excluded from NB’s gross income.
