IN PURSUIT OF THESE GOALS OF THE ASSOCIATION, THE NRA SPENT FUNDS DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY ON POLITICAL ACTIVITIES, WHICH WERE NOT THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE NRA IS ORGANIZED PRIMARILY TO PROMOTE SOCIAL WELFARE AND CAN ALSO ENGAGE IN POLITICAL ACTIVITIES ON BEHALF OF OR IN OPPOSITION TO CANDIDATES FOR POLITICAL OFFICE, AS ALLOWED BY LAW. BY ANY MEASURE, THE PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS SPENT BY THE NRA ON POLITICAL ACTIVATES IS MODEST IN COMPARISON TO THE BUDGET DEVOTED TO THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES OF THE NRA. FOR INSTANCE, ALL EXPENDITURES NOTED ON PART I-A AND I-C OF SCHEDULE C AMOUNTED TO ABOUT 1% OF THE NRA'S TOTAL EXPENSES IN 2018, AS APPLIED TO TOTAL EXPENSES REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 25. REPORTERS AND OTHER READERS ARE ALSO KINDLY REMINDED THAT THE SEPARATE SEGREGATED FUND IS A SEPARATE ENTITY FOR TAX PURPOSES.
PART I-C LINE 4	THIS INFORMATION NOTE REGARDS THE NRA'S TAXES. THE NRA SEPARATELY FILES FORM 1120-POL, WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT TO PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT TAXES PAID WITH THE NRA'S FORMS 1120-POL IS SHARED HERE ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS AS A SERVICE TO READERS AND TO DEMONSTRATE IN GOOD FAITH THAT THE ORGANIZATION IS A TAXPAYER IN GOOD STANDING. 527(F) PROXY TAX IS PAID ON THE LESSER OF NET INVESTMENT INCOME OR CERTAIN POLITICAL EXPENDITURES AS DEFINED BY THE FEDERAL TAX CODE, SUCH AS WHEN CERTAIN POLITICAL COMMUNICATIONS EXPRESSLY ADVOCATE THE ELECTION OR DEFEAT OF A CANDIDATE AND ARE MADE BY THE NRA ITSELF RATHER THAN BY THE NRA'S SEPARATE SEGREGATED FUND. THE AMOUNT OF 527 (F) PROXY TAX PAID WITH THE NRA'S 2018 FORM 1120-POL WAS $164,944. HISTORICALLY, NO 527(F) PROXY TAX WAS REQUIRED TO BE PAID FOR 2017; THE AMOUNT OF 527(F) PROXY TAX PAID WITH THE NRA'S 2016 FORM 1120-POL WAS $20,835; THE AMOUNT PAID WITH THE NRA'S 2015 FORM 1120-POL WAS $21,817. AS ANOTHER POLITE REMINDER TO REPORTERS AND OTHER READERS, FORM 990 INFORMATION IS NOT NECESSARILY EXPECTED TO TIE TO FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION (FEC) REPORTING DUE TO DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IN THE DIFFERENT REGULATORY REGIMES.
