The IRS has been challenging various types of charitable donations for years, raising some standard arguments, evolving during the process, and expanding its focus over time. What started as the IRS scrutinizing donations that it considered abusive has morphed into frequent challenges to charitable gifts that are, by most accounts, routine.
