Unrelated business gross income of a private foundation is the income produced by the foundation through activities that aren't related to scientific, educational, charitable, or any other tax-exempt purposes. Organizations that have any unrelated business gross income of more than $1000 are required to file Form 990-T.
 
Certain foundations are also liable to pay taxes on their unrelated business income if their estimated tax is $500 or more. This can be calculated using Form 990-T and has to be paid in installments.
 
A is a private foundation established to carry out charitable activities or distribute funds to conduct charitable activities. A had organized and operated some programs unrelated to charitable purposes to produce income. The income produced by A through these activities amounts to $1500. 
 
A must file Form 990-T and is also subjected to tax on the unrelated business gross income, as the income is more than $500.
