LOS ANGELES (AP) _ The Church of Scientology has regained tax-exempt status after a 26-year battle with the Internal Revenue Service.

The IRS said it granted tax-exempt status to "various entities within the hierarchy," but essentially the entire church is affected, said Marty Rathbun, president of Religious Technology Center, which holds the church's trademarks.

IRS spokesman Frank Keith said Tuesday that the church entities proved they were "operated exclusively for religious and charitable purposes."
