    A private foundation is a domestic orforeign organization exempt from incometax under section 501(a); described insection 501(c)(3); and is other than anorganization described in sections509(a)(1) through (4).

    In general, churches, hospitals,schools, and broadly publicly supportedorganizations are excluded from privatefoundation status by these sections.These organizations may be required tofile Form 990 (or Form 990-EZ) insteadof Form 990-PF.

    A nonexempt charitable trust treatedas a private foundation is a trust that isnot exempt from tax under section501(a) and all of the unexpired interestsof which are devoted to religious,

    charitable, or other purposes describedin section 170(c)(2)(B), and for which adeduction was allowed under a sectionof the Code listed in section 4947(a)(1).

    A taxable foundation is anorganization that is no longer exemptunder section 501(a) as an organizationdescribed in section 501(c)(3). Though itmay operate as a taxable entity, it willcontinue to be treated as a privatefoundation until that status is terminatedunder section 507.

    A foundation manager is an officer,director, or trustee of a foundation, or anindividual who has powers similar tothose of officers, directors, or trustees.In the case of any act or failure to act,the term foundation manager may alsoinclude employees of the foundationwho have the authority to act.

    An organization is controlled by afoundation or by one or moredisqualified persons with respect to the

    foundation if any of these persons may,by combining their votes or positions ofauthority, require the organization tomake an expenditure or prevent theorganization from making anexpenditure, regardless of the method ofcontrol.

    If the organization files an amendedreturn to claim a refund of tax paid

    under section 4940 or 4948, it must filethe amended return within 3 years afterthe date the original return was due orfiled, or within 2 years from the date thetax was paid, whichever date is later.

    Note: A copy of the amended returnmust also be sent to appropriate stateofficials. See General Instruction G.

    Use Form 4506-A to obtain a copy ofa previously filed return. You can obtainblank forms for prior years by callingtoll-f ree, 1-800-TAX-FORM(1-800-829-3676).

    M. Penalty for Failure To File

    Timely, Completely, or CorrectlyAgainst the organization.If anorganization does not file timely andcompletely, or does not furnish thecorrect information, it must pay $10 foreach day the failure continues, unless itcan show that the failure was due toreasonable cause. Those filing late (afterthe due date, including extensions) mustattach an explanation to the return. Themaximum penalty for each return will notexceed the smaller of $5,000 or 5% ofthe gross receipts of the organization forthe year.

    Against the responsible person.The

    IRS will make written demand that thedelinquent return be filed or theinformation furnished within areasonable time after the mailing of thenotice of the demand. The person failingto comply with the demand on or beforethe date specified will have to pay $10for each day the failure continues,unless there is reasonable cause. Themaximum penalty imposed on allpersons for any one return will notexceed $5,000. If more than one personis liable for any failures, all such personsare jointly and severally liable for suchfailures (see section 6652(c)).

    To avoid filing an incomplete return or

    having to respond to requests formissing information, be sure to completeall applicable line items; to answerYes, No, or N/A (not applicable) toeach question on the return; to make anentry (including a zero when appropriate)on all total lines; and to enter None orN/A if an entire part does not apply.

    Because 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),

  • 8/14/2019 US Internal Revenue Service: i990pf--1994

    5/26

    Page 5

    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 penalty

    generally 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) nonexempt charitabletrusts. The penalties also apply to anytax on unrelated business income ofthese organizations. For more details,see the discussion of Form 2220 inOther Forms You May Need To File inthese instructions.

    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 canexpect 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 the

    time during the year that it first meetsthis requirement. For calendar-yeartaxpayers, the first deposit of estimatedtaxes for a year generally should 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 figure the estimated tax, multiplythe estimated investment income by thetax rate (1% or 2%, whichever applies)

    and enter that amount on line 10a ofForm 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 netinvestment income of $1 million or morefor any of the 3 tax years immediatelypreceding the tax year involved.

    A foundation that does not pay theproper estimated tax when due may be

    subject 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 1995 Form990-W or 1041-ES for information ondetermining the amounts of requiredpayments.

    Q. Public Inspection Requirements

    From the organization

    Information reported on Form 990-PF,including all attachments, is available forpublic inspection under section 6104(b).This applies both to information requiredby the form and to voluntaryinformation. Therefore, the return andany attachments should be reproducible.

    Annual returns

    Foundation managers must make the

    annual return available for inspectionduring regular business hours at theprincipal office of the foundation, or maygive a free copy to any personrequesting inspection, if the request ismade at the time and in the mannerprescribed in section 6104(d) and therelated 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 general

    circulation 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 and

    the name of its principal manager. Aprivate foundation may designate, inaddition to its principal office, any otherlocation where 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-dayperiod as required by law, do not publishthe notice until the return has been

  • 8/14/2019 US Internal Revenue Service: i990pf--1994

    6/26

    Page 6

    completed and is available for inspectionupon 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 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 theperson under a duty to act, but who fails

    to do so without reasonable cause. Thepenalty is also imposed on any personwho does not make the return (includingall required attachments) available forpublic inspection according to thesection 6104(d) provisions discussedunder Annual returns on the precedingpage. 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 keeping 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, fromthe date of its creation, has received atleast 85% of its support (excludinggross investment income) from sources

    outside the United States. Therequirement to furnish copies of annualreturns to state officials also does notapply to such foreign foundations (seeGeneral Instruction G).

    Exemption applications

    Any section 501(c) organization thatsubmitted an application for recognitionof exemption to the Internal RevenueService after July 15, 1987, must makeavailable for public inspection a copy ofits application (and any paperssubmitted in support of its application)and any letter or other document issuedby the IRS in response to the

    application. 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 hoursat 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 application

    requirement will be charged a penalty of$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 issubject to an additional penalty of$1,000.

    From the IRSBoth exempt organization returns andapproved exemption applications maybe inspected by the public at IRS districtoffices and at the IRS National Office inWashington, DC.

    A request for inspection must be inwriting and must include the name andaddress (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. Therequest should be sent to the DistrictDirector (Attention: Disclosure Officer) of

    the district in which the requester wantsto inspect the return or application. Ifthe requester wants the inspection atthe IRS National Office, the requestshould be sent to the Commissioner ofInternal Revenue, Attention: Freedom ofInformation Reading Room, 1111Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC20224.

    Form 4506-A can be used to requesta copy or to inspect an exemptorganization return at an IRS office.There is a charge for photocopying.

    R. Disclosures Regarding CertainInformation and ServicesFurnished

    A section 501(c) organization that offersto sell or solicits money for specificinformation or a routine service to anyindividual that could be obtained by theindividual from a Federal Governmentagency free or for a nominal chargemust disclose that fact conspicuouslywhen making such offer or solicitation.

    Any organization that intentionallydisregards this requirement will besubject to a penalty for each day theoffers or solicitations are made. Thepenalty is the greater of $1,000 or 50%of the total cost of the offers andsolicitations made on that day.

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

    If you apply any provision of any U.S.tax treaty to compute the foundationstaxable income, tax liability, or taxcredits in a manner different from the990-PF instructions, attach anexplanation.

    Regulations section 53.4948-1(b)states that sections 507, 508, andChapter 42 (other than section 4948) donot apply to a foreign private foundationwhich 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 from U.S.sources (i.e., income from dividends,

    interest, rents, payments received onsecurities loans (as defined in section512(a)(5)), and royalties not reported onForm 990-T of an exempt foreign privatefoundation. This tax replaces the section4940 tax on the net investment incomeof a domestic private foundation. To payany tax due, see the instructions for PartVI, line 9.

    Taxable foreign private foundationsand foreign section 4947(a)(1)nonexempt charitable trusts are notsubject to the excise taxes undersections 4948(a) and 4940, but aretaxed under subtitle A of the Code.

    Certain foreign foundations are notrequired to send copies of annualreturns to state officials, or comply withthe public inspection and noticerequirements of annual returns. (SeeGeneral Instructions G and Q.)

    T. Liquidation, Dissolution,Termination, or SubstantialContraction

    Organizations liquidating, etc., mustattach a statement to the returnexplaining any liquidation, dissolution,termination, or substantial contraction.See General Instruction J for filing datesand 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:

    1. The total of the dispositions for thetax year is less than 25% of the fairmarket value of the net assets of theorganization at the beginning of the taxyear, and

    2. The total of the related dispositions

    made during prior tax years (if adisposition is part of a series of relateddispositions made during these prior taxyears) is less than 25% of the fairmarket value of the net assets of theorganization at the beginning of the taxyear in which any of the series of relateddispositions was made.

    The facts and circumstances of theparticular case will determine whether asignificant disposition has occurredthrough a series of related dispositions.Ordinarily, a distribution described in

  • 8/14/2019 US Internal Revenue Service: i990pf--1994

    7/26

    Page 7

    section 170(b)(1)(E)(ii) (relating to privatefoundations making qualifyingdistributions out of corpus equal to100% of contributions received duringthe foundations tax year) will not betaken 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 anexplanation of the nature and fair marketvalue of assets distributed to eachrecipient.

    Organizations that have terminatedtheir private foundation status undersection 507(b)(1)(A) do not have tocomply with the notice and publicinspection requirements of their annual

    return for the year of termination (seeExceptions in 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 supply information toits key district director establishing thatit has terminated its private foundationstatus and, therefore, qualifies as a

    public 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 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 confirmed that theorganization has terminated its privatefoundation status by the time the returnfor the final year of the termination is

    due (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 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 sections

    6651 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 supply informationestablishing that it qualified as a publiccharity for the period for which it paidthe tax.

Generally, the amount shownin column (a) on this line would also bethe amount by which net assets (or fundbalances) have increased or decreasedfor the year. See the instructions for PartIII, Analysis of Changes in Net Assets orFund Balances.

    Column (b)Net InvestmentIncome

    Revenue

    All domestic private foundations(including section 4947(a)(1) nonexemptcharitable trusts) are required to pay anexcise tax each tax year on their netinvestment income.

    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 should be included. Noexpenses are allowed as deductions.

    Gross investment income means the

    total amount of investment income thatwas received by a private foundationfrom all sources. However, it does notinclude any income subject to theunrelated business income tax. Itincludes interest, dividends, rents,payments with respect to securitiesloans (as defined in section 512(a)(5)),royalties received from assets devotedto charitable activities, income fromnotional principal contracts (as definedin Regulations section 1.863-7)), andother substantially similar income from

    ordinary 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 incomeexceeds the allowable deductionsdiscussed later. Tax-exempt interest ongovernmental obligations and related

    expenses are excluded.Include in column (b) all or part of any

    amount from column (a) that applies toinvestment income. However, do notinclude in column (b) any interest,dividends, rents or royalties (and relatedexpenses) that were reported on Form990-T because the organization hadgross income of $1,000 or more from atrade or business unrelated to itscharitable purpose.

    For example, investment income fromdebt-financed property unrelated to theorganizations 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 (andexpenses) 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 its instructions formore information.)

    Line 2Certain contributions fromsplit-interest trusts described insection 4947(a)(2).The income portionof distributions from split-interest truststhat was earned on amounts placed intrust after May 26, 1969 is treated asinvestment income.

    Include in column (b) all ordinary andnecessary expenses paid or incurred toproduce or collect investment incomefrom: interest, dividends, rents, amountsreceived from payments on securitiesloans (as defined in section 512(a)(5)),royalties, income from notional principalcontracts, and other substantially similarincome from ordinary and routineinvestments excluded by section512(b)(1); or for the management,conservation, or maintenance ofproperty held for the production ofincome that is taxable under section4940.

    If any of the expenses listed in column

    (a) are paid or incurred for bothinvestment and charitable purposes,they must be allocated on a reasonablebasis between the investment activitiesand the charitable activities so that onlyexpenses from investment activities willappear in column (b). Examples ofallocation methods are given in theinstructions for Part IX-A.

    Note: The deduction for expenses paidor incurred in any tax year for producinggross investment income earnedincident to a charitable function cannotbe more than the amount of incomeearned from the function which is

    includible as gross investment incomefor the year.

    For example, if rental income isincidentally realized in 1994 from historicbuildings held open to the public,deductions for amounts paid or incurredin 1994 for the production of suchincome may not be more than theamount of rental income includible asgross investment income in column (b)for 1994.

    Note: Do not include on lines 13 through23 of column (b) any expenses paid orincurred that are allocable to tax-exemptinterest that is excluded from lines 3 and4.

    Line 18Taxes.Enter only those taxesincluded in column (a) that are related toinvestment income taxable undersection 4940. Do not include the section4940 tax paid or incurred on netinvestment income or the section 511tax on unrelated business income.

    to the general rules for income andexpenses that apply to this column, thespecific line instructions for lines 3through 27c, and Special Rule 3 andExamples 1 and 2 given below.

    Nonoperating Private Foundations.The following special rules andexamples apply to nonoperating privatefoundations.

    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 tomake any entries in column (c).
