What is a PAC?

IRS Code defines three important tax advantaged entities which play very important roles in American society. Under Sections 501 and 527 they are:

501(c)(3) - Public Charity tax deductible contribution, tax free operation
501(c)(4) - Social Welfare Organization taxable contribution, tax free operation
527 - Political Action Committee taxable contribution, tax free operation

Of the three, PACs have the greatest latitude for political engagement. Such as:

• lobby, advocate ballot measures, endorse candidates

• educate the public, educate candidates, sponsor debates

• mail voter guides, rate candidates

• make campaign contributions, run advertisements, and more
