Dear Sir/Madam:
This responds to your June 5, 2013, request for information regarding the status of your group tax exemption.
Our records indicate that you were issued a determination letter in March 1946, that you are currently exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and are not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because you are described in sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(i).
With your request, you provided a copy of the Official Catholic Directory for 2013, which includes the names and addresses of the agencies and instrumentalities and the educational, charitable, and religious institutions operated by the Roman Catholic Church in the United States, its territories, and possessions that are subordinate organizations under your group tax exemption. Your request indicated that each subordinate organization is a non-profit organization, that no part ofthe net earnings thereof inures to the benefit of any individual, and that no substantial part of their activities is for promotion of legislation. You have further represented that none of your subordinate organizations is a private foundation under section 509(a), although all subordinates do not all share the same sub-classification under section 509(a). Based on your representations, the subordinate organizations in the Official Catholic Directoiy for 2013 are recognized as exempt under section 501 (c)(3) of the Code under GEN 0928.
Donors may deduct contributions to you and your subordinate organizations as provided in section 170 ofthe Code. Bequests, legacies, devises, transfers, or gifts to them or for their use are deductible for federal estate and gifts tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of section 2055, 2106, and 2522 ofthe Code.
Subordinate organizations under a group exemption do not receive individual exemption letters. Most subordinate organizations are not separately listed in Publication 78 or the EO Business Master File. Donors may verify that a subordinate organization is included
in your group exemption by consulting the Official Catholic Directory, the official subordinate listing approved by you, or by contacting you directly. IRS does not verify the inclusion of subordinate organizations under your group exemption. See IRS Publication 4573, Group Exemption, for additional information about group exemptions.
Each subordinate organization covered in a group exemption should have its own EIN. Each subordinate organization must use its own EIN, not the EIN of the central organization, in all filings with IRS.
If you have any questions, please call us at the telephone number shown in the heading of this letter.
Cindy Thomas
Manager, Exempt Organizations Determinations
Sincerely,
