IRS confirms that organizations listed in Official Catholic Directory are tax-exempt

In response to a request by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the IRS has confirmed that organizations listed in the 2024 edition of The Official Catholic Directory are tax-exempt.

The Official Catholic Directory lists “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,” wrote Stephen Martin, director of Exempt Organizations (Rulings and Agreements) of the IRS. 

These organizations, he said, are “subordinate organizations under your group tax exemption.”
