Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
A primary concern of tax-exempt organizations is navigating the rules on UBTI. Many exempt organizations receive taxable income and depend on that income to carry on their charitable purpose. However, UBTI generates the need to file an income tax return and may lead to an unexpected tax bill. Excess UBTI can even jeopardize the exempt status of a nonprofit organization.
For tax-exempt organizations operating multiple unrelated business activities, the 2017 Tax Act does not allow losses from an unrelated trade or business to offset profit from a separate unrelated trade or business. Final regulations explain how to separate unrelated business activities into silos using the two-digit NAICS codes.
Through proper planning and reporting, exempt organizations can anticipate the impact of UBTI.
Listen as our panel of experienced nonprofit tax advisers provides a deep dive into the rules and reporting requirements governing UBTI for exempt organizations.
