    1/2 of 1% of the unpaid tax for each month orpart of a month the tax remains unpaid, not toexceed 25% of the unpaid tax. If there wasreasonable cause for not paying the tax ontime, the penalty can be waived. However,interest is charged on any tax not paid ontime, at the rate provided by section 6621.

    The section 6655 penalties for failure topay estimated taxes apply to the taxes on netinvestment income of domestic privatefoundations and section 4947(a)(1) charitabletrusts. The penalties also apply to any tax onunrelated business income of theseorganizations.

    O. Figuring and Paying Estimated Taxeson Net Investment Income.A privatefoundation must make estimated taxpayments of the excise tax on investmentincome if it can expect its estimated tax(section 4940 tax minus allowable credits) tobe $500 or more. The number of installmentpayments you must make under thedepositary method is determined at the timeduring the year that you first meet thisrequirement. For calendar-year taxpayers, thefirst deposit of estimated taxes for a yearshould generally be made by April 15 of theyear.

    Although Form 990-W is used primarily tocompute the installment payments ofunrelated business income tax, it may also beused to determine the timing and amounts of

    To begin your calculation of the estimatedtax, multiply the estimated investment incomeby the tax rate (1% or 2%. whichever isapplicable) and enter that amount on line 11of Form 990-W.

    The Form 990-W line items andinstructions pertaining to large organizationsalso apply to private foundations. Forpurposes of paying the estimated tax on netinvestment income, a large organization is

    one that had net investment income of $1million or more for any of the three tax yearsimmediately preceding the tax year involved.

    A foundation that fails to pay the properestimated tax when due may be subject to anunderpayment penalty for the period of theunderpayment. Generally, a foundation issubject to the penalty if its tax liability is $500or more and it did not pay on time the lesserof: (a) 90% of the total tax liability for the year,or (b) 100% of the tax liability shown on thefoundation's Form 990-PF for the prior year.However, a foundation that is considered alarge organization may base only its firstrequired installment on 100% of the prioryear's tax liability.

    Compute separately any required deposits

    of section 4940 tax and unrelated businessincome tax. (See sections 6655(b) and (d)and Form 2220 instructions.)

    Exceptions.A private foundation that hasterminated its status as such under section507(b)(1)(A), by distributing all its net assetsto one or more public charities withoutretaining any right, title, or interest in thoseassets, does not have to publish notice ofavailability of its annual return or furnish thereturn to the public for the tax year in which

    Deposit foundation net investment incometax payments (estimated tax payments andbalance of tax due as shown on line 9, PartVI) with a Federal Tax Deposit Coupon (Form8109). Be sure to darken the 990-PF box onForm 8109. Make these tax deposits witheither a financial institution qualified as adepositary for Federal taxes or the FederalReserve bank or branch servicing thegeographic area where the foundation islocated. Do not submit deposits directly to anIRS office; otherwise, the foundation may besubject to a failure-to-deposit penalty.Records of deposits will be sent to IRS forcrediting to the foundation's account. See theinstructions contained in the coupon book(Form 8109) for more information. Form

    990-W explains how to obtain these couponbooks.

    To ensure more accurate processing ofyour deposits, please write your employeridentification number, type of tax paid, and thetax period to which the deposit applies onyour check.

    For more information concerning deposits,see Pub. 583.Note:Foreign organizations should refer toinstructions for Part VI, line 9.

    Information reported on or with Form990-PF, including all attachments, will bemade available for public inspection undersection 6104(b). This applies both toinformation required by the form and toinformation furnished voluntarily. Therefore,the return and any attachments should be ofsuch quality that they can be reproducedphotographically.

    (1) Annual returns.Foundation managersmust make the annual return available forinspection during regular business hours at

    the principal office of the foundation, or mayfurnish a free copy to any person requestinginspection, provided the request is made atthe time and in the manner prescribed insection 6104(d) and the related regulations.

    Notice requirements.A notice that theprivate foundation's annual return is availablefor inspection must be published by the duedate for filing the annual return, including anyextensions of time for filing. The notice mustbe published in a newspaper with generalcirculation in the county in which the principaloffice of the private foundation is located.

    circulation.) The notice must state that theannual return of the private foundation isavailable for inspection at its principal officeduring regular business hours by any citizenwho requests inspection within 180 days afterthe date the notice is published. It must alsoshow the address and telephone number ofthe private foundation's principal office andthe name of its principal manager. A privatefoundation may designate, in addition to itsprincipal office, any other location at which itsannual return will be made available. Anotherlocation may also be designated if thefoundation has no principal office or noneother than the residence of a substantialcontributor or foundation manager.

    To ensure that the return is available for

    public inspection for the full 180-day period asrequired by law, do not publish the notice untilthe return has been completed and, in fact, isreadily available for inspection upon request.

    Attach a copy of the notice to the Form990-PF filed annually with the InternalRevenue Service.

The penalty is imposed onthe person under a duty to act, but who failsto do so without reasonable cause. Thepenalty is also imposed on any person whofails to make the return (including all requiredattachments) available for public inspectionaccording to the section 6104(d) provisionsdiscussed above. If more than one person isresponsible for either failure to act, eachperson is jointly and severally liable for the fullamount of the penalty. Any person whowillfully fails to comply shall be subject to anadditional penalty of $1,000 (section 6685).

    Note: Section 4947(a)(1) charitable trusts andtaxable foundations that have income subjectto tax under section 1 or section 11 shouldsee Form 1120 for the estimated tax rules.However, for paying any estimated tax on thatincome, section 4947(a)(1) charitable trustsshould use Form 1041-ES.

    Activities should be classified according topurpose and in greater detail than by merelyclassifying them as charitable, educational,religious, or scientific activities. For example,use such identification as: payments fornursing service, for fellowships, or forassistance to indigent families.

    Foundations may include, as a single entryon the schedule, the total of amounts paid asgrants for which the foundation exercisedexpenditure responsibility. Attach a separatereport for each grant.

    When the fair market value of the propertyat the time of disbursement is the measure of

    a contribution, the schedule must also show:(a) description of the contributed property; (b)book value of the contributed property; (c) themethod used to determine the book value; (d)the method used to determine the fair marketvalue; and (e) the date of the gift. Thedifference between fair market value andbook value should be shown in the books ofaccount.

    Net Amounts.Line 27a.Excess of revenue overexpenses.Subtract line 26, column (a),from line 12, column (a). Enter the difference.Generally, the amount shown in column (a) onthis line would also be the amount by whichnet assets (or fund balances) have increasedor decreased for the year. See the

    instructions for Part III, Analysis of Changes inNet Assets or Fund Balances.Column (b)Net Investment Income

    Revenue.All domestic private foundations (including

    section 4947(a)(1) charitable trusts) arerequired to pay an excise tax each tax year ontheir net investment income.

    Exempt foreign foundations are subject toan excise tax on their gross investmentincome from U.S. sources. These foreignorganizations should complete lines 3, 4, 5,11, 12, and 27b of column (b) and reportONLY income derived from U.S. sources. Noother income is to be included. No expensesare allowed as deductions.

    Gross investment income means the totalamount of investment income that wasreceived by a private foundation from allsources. However, it does not include anyincome included in figuring the tax onunrelated business income. It includesinterest, dividends, rents, payments withrespect to securities loans (as defined insection 512(a)(5)), and royalties received fromassets devoted to charitable activities.Therefore, interest received on a student loanwould be includible in the gross investmentincome of a private foundation making theloan.

    Net investment income is the amount bywhich the sum of gross investment income

    Line 2.Certain contributions from"split-interest" trusts described in section4947(a) (2).The income portion ofdistributions from split-interest trusts is treatedas investment income to the extent that it wasearned on amounts placed in trust after May26, 1969. Include only that income portion ofsuch distributions on line 2. That same figureis a part of line 1.

    and the capital gain net income exceeds theallowable deductions discussed later.Tax-exempt interest on governmentalobligations and related expenses areexcluded.

    Note: The deduction for expenses paid orincurred in any tax year for producing grossinvestment income earned incident to a

    charitable function cannot be more than theamount of income earned from the functionwhich is includible as gross investmentincome for the year. For example, if rentalincome is incidentally realized in 1990 fromhistoric buildings held open to the public,deductions for amounts paid or incurred in1990 for the production of such income maynot be more than the amount of rental incomeincludible as gross investment income incolumn (b) for 1990.

    Line 19.Depreciation and depletion.For column (b), a deduction for depreciation isallowed only for property used in connectionwith the production of investment income, andONLY on the straight-line method ofcomputing depreciation.

    Line 21.Only 80% of the expense forbusiness meals, etc., paid or incurred inconnection with travel, meetings, etc., relatingto the production of investment income, maybe deducted in computing net investmentincome (section 274 (n)).

    A deduction for amortization is allowed, but

    only for an asset used for the production ofinvestment income.

    Examples: (i) A charitable activity generated

    $5,000 of income and $4,000 of expenses.Report all of the income and expenses incolumn (c) and none in column (d).

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

    Do not include in column (b) any interest,dividends, rents or royalties (and related

    expenses) that were reported on Form 990-Tbecause you had gross income of $1,000 ormore from a trade or business unrelated toyour charitable purpose.

    For example: Investment income derivedfrom debt-financed property unrelated to yourcharitable purpose and certain rents (andrelated expenses) treated as unrelated tradeor business income should be reported onForm 990-T. Income from debt-financedproperty that is not taxed under section 511 istaxed under section 4940. Thus, if thedebt/basis percentage of a debt-financedproperty is 80%, only 80% of the grossincome (and expenses) for that property isused to figure the section 511 tax on Form990-T. The remaining 20% of the gross

    income (and expenses) of that property isused to figure the section 4940 tax on netinvestment income on Form 990-PF. (SeeForm 990-T and instructions for moreinformation.)

    If any of the expenses listed in column (a)are paid or incurred for both investment andcharitable purposes, they must be allocatedon a reasonable basis between theinvestment activities and the charitableactivities so that only expenses frominvestment activities will appear in column (b).Examples of allocation methods are given inthe general instructions of Part XVII-A.

Ifonly a part of the property produces incomeincludible in column (c), deductions such asinterest, taxes, and rent must be dividedbetween the charitable and noncharitableuses of the property. If the deductions forproperty used for a charitable, educational, orother similar purpose are more than the

    income derived from the property, the excesswill not be allowed as a deduction, but may betreated as a qualifying distribution in Part I,column d). (See Examples (i) and (ii) given onpage 8.)

    In general, organizations may use the netshort-term capital gain reported in Part IV, line3. However, since Part IV does not take intoaccount capital gains and losses related todebt-financed property, any short-term capitalgain on debt-financed property would have to

    be taken into account in figuring the netshort-term capital gain reported on line 8. Seethe instructions for Form 990-T for definitionof debt-financed property.
