  "summary": "The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would require nonprofits to disclose in their annual tax filings whether their top officials have been convicted of certain financial or terrorism-related crimes, according to sources with direct knowledge of the matter. The IRS disclosure requirement would be added to the Form 990, the annual return that nonprofit groups file with the agency. The proposal is expected to relate to convictions that occurred within the last 10 years and would cover offenses such as providing material support to terrorists, fraud, money laundering, securities fraud, tax evasion, theft, and civil judgments from securities regulators. However, the proposal does not require the identification of the convicted individual. Critics argue that the proposal could lead to potential political targeting and free speech challenges, as well as stigmatize individuals with felony convictions from serving on nonprofit boards.",
