The first integrated federal income tax statute, enacted in 1913, provided exemptions for business leagues, as association were known at that time. The 1913 act also provided exemptions for charitable, scientific, or educational organizations.

Congress first gave association favored tax treatment largely in recognition of the benefit the public derives from their activities. The legislative history also indicates that the exemption was based on the theory that the government is compensated for any loss of tax revenue by its relief from the financial burden that would otherwise have to be met through appropriating public funds. In simple terms, association earn their tax-exempt status by meeting many of the needs of their members and the general public that the government would otherwise have to meet.

As tax-exempt entities, association are barred from accumulating equity appreciation for private benefit. Instead, these organizations undertake programs or initiatives to benefit members and the public rather than private individuals. Their earnings, therefore, must be dedicated to furthering the primary purpose for which they were organized.
