Push for the IRS to revoke the Southern Poverty Law Center's tax-exempt status.

This record underscores why the IRS should revoke the SPLC’s tax-exempt status. A political operation should not receive the benefits reserved for a charity.

SPLC states that it is a tax-exempt charitable organization under section 501(c)(3), that contributions are tax deductible, and that its EIN is 63-0598743. The page footer says SPLC is a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

SPLC continued to present itself publicly in 2026 as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, indicating the promised revocation had not been delivered as of this check.

AP reported that the SPLC was indicted on federal fraud charges in April 2026 related to alleged payments to informants, and described the organization as a prominent civil rights nonprofit. The report does not state that the IRS revoked SPLC's tax-exempt status or that Mark Harris caused an IRS action.

Related federal enforcement activity occurred against SPLC, but it was DOJ criminal enforcement, not IRS revocation of tax-exempt status, and no Harris role was identified.

The Wall Street Journal reported that SPLC came under IRS scrutiny during the first Trump administration and that the federal investigation stalled under Biden and was revived after Trump returned to office. The article describes investigation and scrutiny, not a completed IRS revocation of SPLC's exempt status or a Mark Harris action.

There is some reported IRS-related scrutiny of SPLC, but no evidence that Harris pushed it or that the IRS revoked the tax exemption; the commitment remains unresolved.
