Re: Tax-exempt Status of Federal Credit Unions (Your June 28, 1991 Letter)
Dear Ms. Bohmann:
You asked whether federally chartered credit unions qualify as Section 501(c) organizations under the Internal Revenue Code. Please be advised that federal credit unions are ex- empt from taxation pursuant to I.R.C. Section 501(c)(1), 26 U.S.C. ~501(c)(1).
Sincerely,
James J. Engel
