White nationalist group's tax-exempt status revoked by US (Richard Spencer)

[geronl]

The U.S. government has revoked the tax-exempt status of a group run by prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer for its failure to file tax returns.

Internal Revenue Service records show Spencer's National Policy Institute automatically lost its tax-exempt status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit after failing to file tax returns for three consecutive years.

Spencer blamed the revocation on an IRS error that led his group to think it wasn't required to file tax returns. But he doesn't have any evidence the move was politically motivated and expressed confidence that his organization can regain its tax-exempt status.

"I don't think of this as a political assassination at the moment," he told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "It's an annoying thing. It's also kind of a bump in the road."
