Nonprofits Comment on Proposed New Instructions for IRS Form 990
OMB Watch and the Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest filed
joint comments on draft instructions for the new IRS Form 990 on May 30 that asked the agency to clarify instructions for reporting lobbying and partisan election activities.
Other groups filing comments include Independent Sector (IS)which commented on a number of issues, including a request for a more specific definition of key employees. The Council on Foundations also provided comprehensive comments that included a request to clarify reporting expenses paid for travel by government officials. The Council noted that such expenses are not illegal, and if fact can "appropriately and significantly" support a charity's mission.
