Tax exempt organization object

This page describes the tax_exempt_organization object, which surfaces IRS-listed tax-exempt status for a business. Middesk matches a business to the IRS Exempt Organizations dataset (Publication 78 and the Automatic Revocation list) by EIN and name. This includes charitable organizations, churches and religious organizations, private foundations, political organizations, and other non-profits.

The tax_exempt_organization field on a Business is null when no matching record is found in the IRS data.
