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.
