What is Form 990-T?
Form 990-T is a tax return intended for use by organizations to report their unrelated business income to the IRS. It is typically filed along with Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF, depending on the organization’s gross receipts and the type of organization it identifies as.
The deadline to file Form 990-T is on 15th day of the 4th month after the end of the tax year for trusts defined in sections 401(a) and 408(a). Other organizations must file by the 15th day of the 5th month from the accounting period end.
