Those filinglate (after the due date, includingextensions) must attach an explanationto the return. The maximum penalty withrespect to any one return shall notexceed the lesser of $5,000 or 5% ofthe gross receipts of the organization forthe year.

    Against the responsible person.TheIRS will make written demand that the

    delinquent return be filed or theinformation furnished within areasonable time after notice of mailing ofthe demand. The person failing tocomply with the demand on or beforethe date specified in the demand willhave to pay $10 for each day the failurecontinues, unless there is reasonablecause. The maximum penalty imposedon all persons for failures with respect toany one return shall not exceed $5,000.If more than one person is liable for anyfailures, all such persons are jointly andseverally liable with respect to suchfailures (see section 6652(c)).

    To avoid filing an incomplete return orhaving to respond to requests formissing information, please be sure tocomplete all applicable line items; toanswer Yes, No, or N/A (notapplicable) to each question on thereturn; to make an entry (including a-0- when appropriate) on all total lines;and to enter None or N/A if an entirepart does not apply.

    Since this return also satisfies thefiling requirements of a tax return undersection 6011 for the tax on investmentincome imposed by section 4940 (or

  • 8/14/2019 US Internal Revenue Service: i990pf--1991

    5/26

    Page 5

    4948 if an exempt foreign organization),the penalties imposed by section 6651for not filing a return (without reasonablecause) also apply.

    There are also penalties for willfulfailure to file and for filing fraudulentreturns and statements. See sections7203, 7206, and 7207.

    N. Penalty for Not Paying Tax onTime

    There is a penalty for not paying tax

    when due (section 6651).The penaltygenerally is 12 of 1% of the unpaid taxfor each month or part of a month thetax remains unpaid, not to exceed 25%of the unpaid tax. If there wasreasonable cause for not paying the taxon time, the penalty can be waived.However, interest is charged on any taxnot paid on time, at the rate provided bysection 6621.

    The section 6655 penalties for failureto pay estimated taxes apply to thetaxes on net investment income ofdomestic private foundations andsection 4947(a)(1) charitable trusts. Thepenalties also apply to any tax onunrelated business income of theseorganizations. For more information, seethe discussion of Form 2220 in OtherForms You May Need To File in theseinstructions.

    O. Figuring and Paying EstimatedTaxes on Net Investment Income

    A private foundation must makeestimated tax payments of the excisetax on investment income if it canexpect its estimated tax (section 4940tax minus allowable credits) to be $500or more. The number of installmentpayments you must make under the

    depositary method is determined at thetime during the year that you first meetthis requirement. For calendar-yeartaxpayers, the first deposit of estimatedtaxes for a year should generally bemade by April 15 of the year.

    Although Form 990-W is usedprimarily to compute the installmentpayments of unrelated business incometax, it may also be used to determinethe timing and amounts of installmentpayments of the section 4940 tax on netinvestment income.

    To begin your calculation of theestimated tax, multiply the estimated

    investment income by the tax rate (1%or 2%, whichever is applicable) andenter that amount on line 11 of Form990-W.

    The Form 990-W line items andinstructions pertaining to largeorganizations also apply to privatefoundations. For purposes of paying theestimated tax on net investment income,a large organization is one that had netinvestment income of $1 million or morefor any of the three tax years

    immediately preceding the tax yearinvolved.

    A foundation that fails to pay theproper estimated tax when due may besubject to an underpayment penalty forthe period of the underpayment.Generally, a foundation is subject to thepenalty if its tax liability is $500 or moreand it did not make the requiredpayments on time.

    Q. Public Inspection of Form990-PF and Approved ExemptionApplications

    Through the organization

    Information reported on or with Form990-PF, including all attachments, will bemade available for public inspectionunder section 6104(b). This applies bothto information required by the form andto information furnished voluntarily.Therefore, the return and anyattachments should be of such qualitythat they can be reproducedphotographically.

    (1) Annual returns.Foundationmanagers must make the annual returnavailable for inspection during regularbusiness hours at the principal office ofthe foundation, or may furnish a freecopy to any person requestinginspection, provided the request is madeat the time and in the manner prescribedin section 6104(d) and the relatedregulations.

    Notice requirements.A notice thatthe private foundations annual return isavailable for inspection must be

    published by the due date for filing theannual return, including any extensionsof time for filing. The notice must bepublished in a newspaper with generalcirculation in the county in which theprincipal office of the private foundationis located. (A newspaper or journal thatpublishes real estate title transfers orother similar legal notices to satisfy statestatutory requirements is alsoconsidered to have general circulation.)The notice must state that the annualreturn of the private foundation isavailable for inspection at its principaloffice during regular business hours byany citizen who requests inspectionwithin 180 days after the date the noticeis published. It must also show theaddress and telephone number of theprivate foundations principal office andthe name of its principal manager. Aprivate foundation may designate, inaddition to its principal office, any otherlocation at which its annual return will bemade available. Another location mayalso be designated if the foundation hasno principal office or none other than theresidence of a substantial contributor orfoundation manager.

    To ensure that the return is availablefor public inspection for the full 180-day

    period as required by law, do not publishthe notice until the return has beencompleted and, in fact, is readilyavailable for inspection upon request.

    Attach a copy of the notice to theForm 990-PF filed annually with theInternal Revenue Service.

    Penalties.If a foundation does notpublish the notice and attach a copy ofit to a timely filed return, there is apenalty of $10 a day, up to a maximumof $5,000 for any one return (section6652(c)). The penalty is imposed on the

    Page 6

    person under a duty to act, but who failsto do so without reasonable cause. Thepenalty is also imposed on any personwho fails to make the return (includingall required attachments) available forpublic inspection according to thesection 6104(d) provisions discussedabove. If more than one person isresponsible for either failure to act, eachperson is jointly and severally liable forthe full amount of the penalty. Anyperson who willfully fails to comply shallbe subject to an additional penalty of$1,000 (section 6685).

    Exceptions.A private foundation thathas terminated its status as such undersection 507(b)(1)(A), by distributing all itsnet assets to one or more publiccharities without retaining any right, title,or interest in those assets, does nothave to publish notice of availability ofits annual return or furnish the return tothe public for the tax year in which itterminates (Regulations section1.507-2(a)(6)).

    The notice and public inspectionprovisions discussed above do not applyto any foreign foundation which, from

    the date of its creation, has received atleast 85% of its support (excludinggross investment income) from sourcesoutside the United States. Therequirement to furnish copies of annualreturns to state officials also does notapply to such foreign foundations (seeGeneral Instruction G).

    Any person who does not comply withthe public inspection of application

    requirement shall be assessed a penaltyof $10 for each day that inspection wasnot permitted. There is no limitation. Nopenalty will be imposed if the failure isdue to reasonable cause. If more thanone person is responsible for failure tocomply with this requirement, eachperson is jointly and severally liable forthe full amount of the penalty. Anyperson who willfully fails to comply shallbe subject to an additional penalty of$1,000.

    S. Organizations Organized orCreated in a Foreign Country orU.S. Possession

    Regulations section 53.4948-1(b)provides that sections 507, 508, andChapter 42 (other than section 4948) donot apply to a foreign private foundation

    which from the date of its creation hasreceived at least 85% of its support (asdefined in section 509(d), other thansection 509(d)(4)) from sources outsidethe United States.

    Section 4948(a) imposes a 4% tax onthe gross investment income (i.e.,income from dividends, interest, rents,payments received on securities loans(as defined in section 512(a)(5)), androyalties not reported on Form 990-T, ofan exempt foreign private foundationfrom U.S. sources. This tax is in lieu of

    the section 4940 tax on the netinvestment income of a domestic privatefoundation. To pay any tax due, seeinstructions for Part VI, line 9.

    Taxable foreign private foundationsand foreign section 4947(a)(1) charitabletrusts are not subject to the excise taxesunder sections 4948(a) and 4940, butare taxed under subtitle A of the Code.

    Certain foreign foundations are notrequired to furnish copies of annualreturns to state officials, nor must they

    comply with the public inspection andnotice requirements of annual returns.(See General Instructions G and Q.)

    T. Liquidation, Dissolution,Termination, or SubstantialContraction

    Organizations liquidating, etc., mustattach a statement to the returnexplaining the nature of any liquidation,dissolution, termination, or substantialcontraction. See General Instruction Jfor filing dates and locations.

    The term substantial contractionincludes any partial liquidation or any

    other significant disposition of assets(other than transfers for full andadequate consideration or distributionsof current income).

    A significant disposition of assetsdoesnot include any disposition for a tax yearif the total of the:

    1. dispositions for the tax year, and

    2. related dispositions made duringprior tax years (if a disposition is part ofa series of related dispositions madeduring these prior tax years)

    is less than 25% of the fair market valueof the net assets of the organization atthe beginning of the tax year (in the

    case of (1) above) or at the beginning ofthe tax year in which any of the series ofrelated dispositions was made (in thecase of (2) above).

    Whether a significant disposition hasoccurred through a series of relateddispositions will be determined from allthe facts and circumstances of theparticular case. Ordinarily, a distributiondescribed in section 170(b)(1)(E)(ii)(relating to private foundations makingqualifying distributions out of corpusequal to 100% of contributions receivedduring the foundations tax year) will notbe taken into account as a significantdisposition of assets. See Regulationssection 1.170A-9(g)(2).

    In the case of a complete liquidationof a corporation or termination of a trust,state whether a final distribution ofassets was made and the date made.Also attach a certified copy of theresolution or plan, if any, of liquidation,etc., and all amendments orsupplements not previously filed, as wellas a schedule listing the names andaddresses of all recipients of assetsdistributed in liquidation, dissolution, orsubstantial contraction, and an

    explanation of the nature and fair marketvalue of assets distributed to eachrecipient.

    Organizations that have terminatedtheir private foundation status undersection 507(b)(1)(A) are excepted fromthe notice and public inspectionrequirements of their annual return forthe year of termination (see Exceptionsin General Instruction Q).

    If the organization has ceased to exist,write Final Returnat the top of page 1

    of the return.If the organization is terminating its

    private foundation status under section507(b)(1)(B), see General Instructions Uand V below.

    U. Filing Requirements DuringSection 507 (b)(1)(B) Termination

    Although an organization terminating itsprivate foundation status under section507(b)(1)(B) may be regarded as a publiccharity for certain purposes, it is stillconsidered a private foundation forpurposes of the filing requirements andmust file an annual return on Form

    990-PF. The return must be filed foreach year in the 60-month terminationperiod, if that period has not expiredbefore the due date of the return.

    The regulations under section 507(b)(1)(B)(iii) specify that within 90 days afterthe end of the termination period theorganization must furnish information toits key District Director establishing thatit has terminated its private foundationstatus and, therefore, qualifies as apublic charity. If information is furnishedestablishing a successful termination,then for the final year of the terminationperiod the organization should complywith the filing requirements for the type

    of public charity it has become. See theinstructions for Form 990 and ScheduleA (Form 990) for specific information onfiling requirements. This applies even ifthe key district has not affirmed that theorganization has terminated its privatefoundation status by the time the returnfor the final year of the termination isdue (or would be due if a return wererequired).

    The organization will be allowed areasonable period of time to file anyprivate foundation returns required (forthe last year of the termination period)but not previously filed if it is later

    determined that the organization did notterminate its private foundation status.Interest on any tax due will be chargedfrom the original due date of the Form990-PF, but penalties under sections6651 and 6652 will not be assessed ifthe Form 990-PF is filed within theperiod allowed by the key district.

    V. Special Rules for Section507(b)(1)(B) Terminations

    If you are terminating your privatefoundation status under the 60-month

    provisions of section 507(b)(1)(B), specialrules apply. (See General Instructions Tand U.) Under these rules you may fileForm 990-PF without paying the tax onnet investment income if the foundationfiled a consent under section 6501(c)(4)with its notification to the DistrictDirector of its intention to begin asection 507(b)(1)(B) termination. Theconsent states that the period oflimitation on the assessment of excisetax under section 4940 or 4948 oninvestment income for any tax year inthe 60-month period will not expire untilat least one year after the period forassessing a deficiency for the last taxyear in the 60-month period wouldnormally expire. Any foundation notpaying the tax with the filing of Form990-PF must attach a copy of thesigned consent.

    If the foundation did not file theconsent, the tax must be paid in thenormal manner as explained in GeneralInstructions O and P. You may file aclaim for refund after completingtermination or during the terminationperiod. The claim for refund must be

    Column (b)Net InvestmentIncome

    Revenue

    All domestic private foundations

    (including section 4947(a)(1) charitabletrusts) are required to pay an excise taxeach tax year on their net investmentincome.

    Exempt foreign foundations aresubject to an excise tax on their grossinvestment income from U.S. sources.These foreign organizations shouldcomplete lines 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, and 27bof column (b) and report ONLY incomederived from U.S. sources. No otherincome is to be included. No expensesare allowed as deductions.

    Gross investment income means thetotal amount of investment income that

    was received by a private foundationfrom all sources. However, it does notinclude any income included in figuringthe tax on unrelated business income. Itincludes interest, dividends, rents,payments with respect to securitiesloans (as defined in section 512(a)(5)),and royalties received from assetsdevoted to charitable activities.Therefore, interest received on a studentloan would be includible in the grossinvestment income of a privatefoundation making the loan.

    Net investment income is the amountby which the sum of gross investmentincome and the capital gain net income

    exceeds the allowable deductionsdiscussed later. Tax-exempt interest ongovernmental obligations and relatedexpenses are excluded.

    Include in column (b) all or part of anyamount from column (a) that applies toinvestment income. However, see theexception given below, and theadditional rules for specific line items.

    Do not include in column (b) anyinterest, dividends, rents or royalties(and related expenses) that werereported on Form 990-T because youhad gross income of $1,000 or morefrom a trade or business unrelated to

    your charitable purpose.For example, investment income

    derived from debt-financed propertyunrelated to your charitable purpose andcertain rents (and related expenses)treated as unrelated trade or businessincome should be reported on Form990-T. Income from debt-financedproperty that is not taxed under section511 is taxed under section 4940. Thus, ifthe debt/basis percentage of adebt-financed property is 80%, only80% of the gross income (and

    expenses) for that property is used tofigure the section 511 tax on Form990-T. The remaining 20% of the grossincome (and expenses) of that propertyis used to figure the section 4940 tax onnet investment income on Form 990-PF.(See Form 990-T and instructions formore information.)
