Rejection Message: 

The IRS has rejected the return since the organization is filing its initial return and doesn’t qualify for the Reduced Tax on Net Investment Income under Section 4940(e).

What does it mean:

If the domestic foundation meets the requirement of the Section 4940(e) and has initial returns, then the foundation doesn’t qualify for the Reduced Tax on Net Investment Income based on the adjusted qualifying distributions and the net value of the non-charitable use assets for years starting from the current year to past five years.

    • Interview-based filing - You'll be directed to the Qualification Under Section 4940(e) page. Under "Qualification Under Section 4940(e)", select NO.
    • Form-based filing - You'll be directed to Part V of Form 990-PF. Here, select No to state that the foundation qualifies under section 4940(e)
  4. Follow the subsequent steps as prompted.
