These provisions do not apply to

    any foreign foundation which, from thedate of its creation, has received at least85% of its support (excluding grossinvestment income) from sourcesoutside the United States. (SeeExceptions in General Instruction Q.)

    If the foundation managers submit acopy of Form 990-PF (and Form 4720, ifany) to a state attorney general tosatisfy a state reporting requirement,they do not have to furnish a secondcopy to that attorney general to complywith the Internal Revenue Coderequirements covered by this instruction.If there is a state reporting requirementthat the copy of Form 990-PF be filedwith a state official other than theattorney general (such as a secretary ofstate), then the foundation managersmust also furnish a copy of the Form990-PF to the attorney general of thatstate.

    Since this return also satisfies thefiling requirements of a tax return undersection 6011 for the tax on investmentincome imposed by section 4940 (or4948 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 taxwhen 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 domestic private foundation mustmake estimated tax payments of theexcise tax on investment income if it can

    expect its estimated tax (section 4940tax minus allowable credits) to be $500or more. The number of installmentpayments it must make under thedepositary method is determined at thetime during the year that it first meetsthis 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 installment

    payments of the section 4940 tax on netinvestment income.

    To figure the estimated tax, multiplythe estimated investment income by thetax rate (1% or 2%, whichever isapplicable) and enter that amount online 11 of Form 990-W.

    The Form 990-W line items andinstructions for large organizations alsoapply to private foundations. Forpurposes of paying the estimated tax onnet investment income, a largeorganization is one that had net

    investment income of $1 million or morefor any of the 3 tax years immediatelypreceding the tax year involved.

    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. See the 1993 Form990-W or 1041-ES for information on

    determining the amounts of requiredpayments.

    Compute separately any requireddeposits of section 4940 tax andunrelated business income tax. (Seesections 6655(b) and (d) and the Form2220 instructions.)

    Note: Section 4947(a)(1) charitable trustsand taxable foundations that haveincome subject to tax under section 1 orsection 11 should see Form 1120 for theestimated tax rules. However, section4947(a)(1) charitable trusts should useForm 1041-ES for paying any estimatedtax on that income. Taxable foundationsshould use Form 8109, and darken the1120 box on that form.

    P. Depositary Method of TaxPayment for Domestic PrivateFoundations

    The foundation must pay the tax due infull when the return is filed, but no laterthan 412 months after the end of the taxyear.

    If the balance of foundation netinvestment tax due shown on line 9,Part VI of Form 990-PF, or line 5c ofForm 2758, Application for Extension ofTime To File Certain Excise, Income,Information, and Other Returns, is lessthan $500, attach a check or moneyorder, payable to the Internal RevenueService, to page 1 of Form 990-PF orsend the full balance due with Form2758. Otherwise, deposit foundation netinvestment income tax payments(estimated tax payments and balance oftax due as shown on line 9, Part VI ofForm 990-PF, or line 5c of Form 2758)with a Federal Tax Deposit Coupon(Form 8109). Be sure to darken the990-PF box on Form 8109. Make thesetax deposits with either a financialinstitution qualified as a depositary forFederal taxes or the Federal Reserve

    bank or branch servicing the geographicarea where the foundation is located. Donot submit deposits directly to an IRSoffice; otherwise, the foundation may besubject to a failure-to-deposit penalty.Records of deposits will be sent to IRSfor crediting to the foundations account.See the instructions in the coupon book(Form 8109) for more details.

    To ensure accurate processing of yourdeposits, write the organizationsemployer identification number, type of

    tax paid, and the tax period to which thedeposit applies on the check.

    For more information concerningdeposits, see Pub. 583.

    Note: Foreign organizations should referto the instructions for Part VI, line 9.

    Q. Public Inspection Requirements

    From the organization

    Information reported on Form 990-PF,including all attachments, is available for

    public inspection under section 6104(b).This applies both to information requiredby the form and to information furnishedvoluntarily. Therefore, the return and anyattachments should be of reproduciblequality.

    Annual returns

    Foundation managers must make theannual return available for inspectionduring regular business hours at theprincipal office of the foundation, or mayfurnish a free copy to any personrequesting inspection, provided therequest is made at the time and in themanner prescribed in section 6104(d)

    and the related regulations.Notice requirements.A notice that theprivate foundations annual return isavailable for inspection must bepublished 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 the

    residence of a substantial contributor orfoundation manager.

    To ensure that the return is availablefor public inspection for the full 180-dayperiod 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 with the InternalRevenue Service.

    Penalties.If a foundation does notpublish the notice and attach a copy of

  • 8/14/2019 US Internal Revenue Service: i990pf--1992

    6/26

    Page 6

    it 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 theperson 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 issubject 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 section

    1.507-2(a)(6)).The notice and public inspection

    provisions discussed above do not applyto any foreign foundation which, fromthe 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).

An organization thatsubmitted its exemption application onor before July 15, 1987, must alsocomply with this requirement if it had acopy of its application on July 15, 1987.The copy of the application and relateddocuments must be made available forinspection during regular business hours

    at the organizations principal office andat each of its regional or district officeshaving at least three employees.

    Any person who does not comply withthe public inspection of applicationrequirement 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 for

    the full amount of the penalty. Anyperson who willfully fails to comply issubject to an additional penalty of$1,000.

    A request for inspection must be inwriting and must include the name and

    address (city and state) of theorganization that filed the return orapplication. A request to inspect a returnshould indicate the type (number) of thereturn and the year(s) involved.

Thepenalty imposed for a particular day isthe greater of $1,000 or 50% of the totalcost of the offers and solicitations madeon that day which lacked the requireddisclosure.

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

    Regulations section 53.4948-1(b) statesthat sections 507, 508, and Chapter 42(other than section 4948) do not apply toa foreign private foundation which fromthe date of its creation has received atleast 85% of its support (as defined insection 509(d), other than section509(d)(4)) from sources outside theUnited 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 ofthe section 4940 tax on the netinvestment income of a domestic privatefoundation. To pay any tax due, see theinstructions for Part VI, line 9.

    Taxable foreign private foundationsand foreign sect ion 4947(a)(1) charitabletrusts are not subject to the excise taxesunder sections 4948(a) and 4940, but

    are taxed under subtitle A of the Code.Certain foreign foundations are not

    required to furnish copies of annualreturns to state officials, nor must theycomply 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 substantial

    contraction. See General Instruction Jfor filing dates and locations.

    The term substantial contractionincludes any partial liquidation or anyother significant disposition of assets(other than transfers for full andadequate consideration or distributionsof current income).

    A significant disposition of assetsdoes not include any disposition for atax year if 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 made

    during 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 thecase 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 well

    Organizations that have terminatedtheir private foundation status undersection 507(b)(1)(A) are excepted fromthe notice and public inspectionrequirements of their annual return for

    the year of termination (see Exceptionsin General Instruction Q).

    If the organization has ceased to exist,write Final Return at the top of page 1of the return.

    If the organization is terminating itsprivate 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 public

    charity for certain purposes, it is stillconsidered a private foundation forpurposes of the filing requirements andmust file an annual return on Form990-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.

    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 furnished

    establishing a successful termination,then for the final year of the terminationperiod the organization should complywith the filing requirements for the typeof public charity it has become. See theInstructions for Form 990 and ScheduleA (Form 990) for details on filingrequirements. This applies even if thekey 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 a

    reasonable period of time to file anyprivate foundation returns required (forthe last year of the termination period)but not previously filed if it is laterdetermined 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 the organization is terminating itsprivate foundation status under the60-month provisions of section507(b)(1)(B), special rules apply. (SeeGeneral Instructions T and U.) Underthese rules the organization may fileForm 990-PF without paying the tax onnet investment income if it filed aconsent under section 6501(c)(4) with itsnotification to the District Director of its

    intention to begin a section 507(b)(1)(B)termination. The consent provides thatthe period of limitation on theassessment of excise tax under section4940 or 4948 on investment income forany tax year in the 60-month period willnot expire until at least 1 year after theperiod for assessing a deficiency for thelast tax year in the 60-month periodwould normally expire. Any foundationnot paying the tax when it files Form990-PF must attach a copy of thesigned consent.

    If the foundation did not file theconsent, the tax must be paid in the

    normal manner as explained in GeneralInstructions O and P. The organizationmay file a claim for refund aftercompleting termination or during thetermination period. The claim for refundmust be filed on time and theorganization must furnish informationestablishing that it qualified as a publiccharity for the period for which it paidthe tax.

    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 other

    income is to be included. No expensesare allowed as deductions.

    Gross investment income means thetotal amount of investment income thatwas 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)),royalties received from assets devotedto charitable activities, income from

    notional principal contracts (as definedin Regulations section 1.863-7)), andother substantially similar income fromordinary and routine investmentsexcluded by section 512(b)(1). Therefore,interest received on a student loan isincludible in the gross investmentincome of a private foundation makingthe 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 below, and the additional rulesfor specific line items.

    Do not include in column (b) anyinterest, dividends, rents or royalties(and related expenses) that werereported on Form 990-T because theorganization had gross income of $1,000or more from a trade or businessunrelated to its charitable purpose.

    For example, investment incomederived from debt-financed propertyunrelated to the organizations charitablepurpose and certain rents (and relatedexpenses) treated as unrelated trade orbusiness income should be reported onForm 990-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 (andexpenses) for that property is used tofigure the section 511 tax on Form990-T. The remaining 20% of the gross

    income (and expenses) of that propertyis used to figure the section 4940 tax onnet investment income on Form 990-PF.(See Form 990-T and its instructions formore information.)

    1. If a nonoperating private foundationhas no income from charitable activitiesthat would be reportable on line 10 orline 11 of Part I, it does not have to

    make any entries in column (c).2. If a nonoperating private foundationhas income from charitable activities, itmust report that income only on lines 10and/or 11 in column (c). Thesefoundations do not need to report otherkinds of income and expenses (such asinvestment income and expenses) incolumn (c).

    In general, organizations may use thenet short-term capital gain reported inPart IV, line 3. However, because Part IVdoes not take into account capital gainsand losses related to debt-financedproperty, any short-term capital gain ondebt-financed property would have to be

    taken into account in figuring the netshort-term capital gain reported on line8. See the instructions for Form 990-Tfor definition of debt-financed property.
