Union-Backed "Dark Money" Group Facing IRS Fine

A union-backed “dark money” group is facing a $50,000 fine for failing to file returns with the IRS.

Union-backed Pennsylvanians for Accountability, which spent more than $1 million on political advertisements targeting Republican Gov. Tom Corbett and a handful of state lawmakers, failed to file a mandatory tax return, the Center for Public Integrity has learned. For failing to file returns with the IRS on time, the secretive, Pittsburgh-based Pennsylvanians for Accountability could be fined up to $50,000.
