Abstract:
Form 990-T is used to figure and report unrelated business income tax imposed on exempt organizations by IRC section 511 and the proxy tax imposed by section 6033(e). It also used to claim a refund of income tax paid by a regulated investment company (RIC) or a real estate investment trust (REIT), on undistributed long-term capital gain. In addition Form 990-T can be used to request a credit for certain federal excise taxes paid or for small employer health insurance premiums paid, and report unrelated business income tax on reinsurance entities. The likely respondents are any domestic or foreign organization exempt under section 501(a) or section 529(a) if it has gross income of $1,000 or more from a regularly conducted unrelated trade or business. The return is required by IRC sections 6012(a)(2) and (4) and Regulations section 1.6012-2(e) and is to be filed annually at the end of the respondents tax year. IRS uses the information to enforce the tax. The FAQs posted to IRS.gov will assist taxpayers in fulfilling their filing obligations for 2017.

Short Statement:
The agency has updated the Agency Estimates for number of responses based on its most recent filing data (31,703 to 207,500). The additional responses result in a burden increase of 24,167,406 hours. Changes due to new statute resulting from PL 115-97, section 14103 have a retroactive effective date of 2017. The agency has updated the Changes due to statute by adding another 5,000 respondents as a result. The additional responses create a further burden increase of 60,000 hours, which combined with the changes due to agency estimates result in a new total burden of 29,489,725 hours and 212,500 responses for the overall collection. The changes resulting from PL 115-97, section 14103 are an administrative priority to collect deferred foreign income from US and foreign partnerships and corporations. Due to a lack of resources, the IRS must inform taxpayers how to calculate and report the deferred foreign income on their 2017 returns without disrupting information technology programs. As a result, FAQs were developed to alert taxpayers how and where to report this income on their 2017 return. This is seen as a priority for the Internal Revenue Service as this is a high revenue raiser. A critical part of this effort includes alerting taxpayers of their filing obligations and educating them on how and where this would be reported. This change will affect approximately 5,000 Form 990-T filers and will take an estimated 12 hours to comply, resulting in an overall burden increase of 60,000 hours.
