Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division

The Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division (TE/GE) is a part of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. Its main role is to oversee organizations that are exempt from federal income tax, like charities, educational institutions, and certain government entities. TE/GE ensures these organizations comply with tax laws and regulations, helping them maintain their tax-exempt status. It provides guidance, processes applications for tax exemptions, and conducts audits to ensure compliance, ultimately supporting the proper functioning of the nonprofit sector and ensuring public trust in these organizations.
