Form 990-T
Form 990-T is used to calculate and report the unrelated business income of an organization to the IRS during the tax year. This return must also be filed annually with the IRS.
Filing Requirements for Form 990 vs 990-T
Form 990 must be filed by tax-exempt organizations, nonexempt charity trusts, and section 527 political organizations with gross receipts ≥ $200,000 or total assets ≥ $500,000.
