The Internal Revenue Service has published an article on tax-exempt organizations that everyone practicing in estate and philanthropic planning should keep close at hand for easy reference and for some perspective — especially during this time of increased Congressional and IRS scrutiny of charities.

It's rare to find this much valuable data about tax-exempt organizations in one place — and even rarer to find such data placed in the context of the historical development of the tax-exempt sector. The article, which can be found on the IRS website at www.irs.gov/taxstats/charitablestats/article, is in the Winter 2008 issue of the Statistics of Income Bulletin (an IRS publication), written by Paul Arnsberger, Melissa Ludlum, Margaret Riley and Mark Stanton and called “A History of the Tax-Exempt Sector: An SOI Perspective” (“SOI” stands for statistics of income.)
