The IRS is ramping up its enforcement actions targeting tax-exempt organizations, and if your project operates under that status, you better be prepared. The taxman's scrutiny has intensified, with new requirements and compliance checks hitting the agenda hard.

For Web3 projects and crypto foundations operating as exempt entities, this signals a broader shift toward stricter regulatory oversight. Whether you're running a DAO, a blockchain research foundation, or any decentralized initiative with tax-exempt classification, staying ahead of IRS expectations is no longer optional—it's critical.

The agency's renewed focus means audits, documentation requests, and compliance verifications are likely to accelerate. Organizations need to ensure their records are airtight, their spending aligns with mission statements, and their governance structures meet current federal standards.

The message is clear: the window for oversight gaps is closing. Now's the time to audit your own operations, tighten your compliance protocols, and make sure you're not caught off guard when the IRS comes calling.

IRS this wave is really no joke... The lazy days of many projects in the past are probably coming to an end. --- DAOs need to conduct a self-audit quickly, or else one day when audited, they might not even find all the documents, and that would be disastrous. --- Compliance costs are going to rise, and no one can escape this. --- It seems that maintaining a tax-exempt status will become increasingly difficult... Americans are like that, they give you a sweet deal first, then tax you. --- Remember this point: spend money that aligns with your mission statement, or else the IRS will help you "explain."
