AARP as an organization does not support the Democratic Party, and the claim has been debunked by fact-checkers before . An AARP spokesperson, Jason Young, confirmed that AARP is strictly nonpartisan. Young said AARP is a tax-exempt social welfare organization in good standing with the IRS, and pointed PolitiFact to the IRS’ description of social welfare organizations. On its website, the IRS says that a tax-exempt social welfare organization is "an organization must not be organized for profit and must be operated exclusively to promote social welfare." The website further explains: " The promotion of social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office." Chief operating officer Scott Frisch signed AARP’s most recent tax filing, confirming that "AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization empowering people to choose how they live as they age."
