Can a tax exempt group support political candidates?

Tax-exempt groups, particularly those classified under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are prohibited from engaging in political campaign activities or supporting specific candidates. However, they can engage in non-partisan activities such as voter education and advocacy on issues, as long as these activities do not promote a particular candidate. Other types of tax-exempt organizations, like 501(c)(4) groups, can support candidates but must still adhere to specific regulations regarding political activities.
