The IRS strikes out in court!
Three organizations that recently took the IRS to court to obtain tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the code have won their cases--an HMO and a PSRO on the basis of their benefit to the community, and a cooperative hospital laundry because of its connection with tax-exempt institutions and its nonprofit operation.
