Penalty on Tax-Exempt Orgs Passing Foreign Money to Politics
Imposes financial penalties and escalating taxes on tax-exempt nonprofits that donate to political committees or political groups after accepting money from foreign nationals, including loss of tax-exempt status for repeat violations.
- Population Scope Low Directly affects only larger 501(c) organizations (those with $200K+ receipts or $500K+ assets) that both accept foreign national contributions and make political contributions — a narrow subset of nonprofits.
- Budgetary Magnitude Low No funds are authorized or appropriated; the provision generates indeterminate penalty and tax revenue for the Treasury contingent on violations, with no specified dollar amount.
- Legal / Regulatory Depth High Creates a new statutory prohibition with binding financial consequences — a new IRC enforcement section with graduated tax penalties and mandatory revocation of tax-exempt status for repeat violations, constituting a new substantive legal mandate on a class of organizations.
- Degree of Discretion Granted Low Penalty and tax amounts are fixed by formula ('shall pay,' '100 percent,' '200 percent'), leaving the IRS no discretion over imposition or amount, only standard administrative enforcement.
- Implementation & Enforcement Burden High Requires the IRS to conduct ongoing case-by-case adjudication — tracking foreign-national contribution receipts across a two-year testing window, determining first/second/subsequent violation status, and administering tax-exempt status revocations — creating a recurring compliance and enforcement obligation.
- Temporal Commitment High Persists indefinitely until Congress acts to repeal it, with no sunset, fixed end date, or mandatory reauthorization.

Summary
This bill adds new tax penalties for tax-exempt organizations that donate to political committees or other political groups after accepting money from foreign nationals. An organization that makes such a donation faces a penalty equal to twice the contribution amount under a new Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section. Repeated violations can result in taxes up to 200 percent of the contribution and a two-year loss of tax-exempt status.
