9 Unrelated Business Income IRS Examination Risk Associational Test 1. Distinct legal existence 2. Recognized creed and form of worship 3. Definite and distinct ecclesiastical government 4.

19 UBI Analysis Always begin with Trade or Business Not Substantially Related To Exempt Purpose Regularly Carried On 19
20 UBI Analysis Then look for Exceptions Exclusions Court cases But be aware of Exceptions to the exceptions 20
21 Exceptions The activity is performed by volunteers. Donated merchandise is being sold. The activity is provided for the convenience of the members. The only gaming activity is bingo.
22 Exceptions A church operates a thrift store selling items to the general public. A church operates a thrift store selling items to the general public. All of the individuals carrying on the work are uncompensated. A church operates a thrift store selling items to the general public. Persons desiring to benefit the organization contribute used clothes, books, and furniture to be sold to benefit the church. A church operates a snack bar for the convenience of the congregants.
23 Exceptions A public charity receives passive investment income, including, dividends, interest, and royalty income. An exempt organization sells its mailing/membership list to unrelated entities. An exempt organization sells its mailing/membership list to unrelated entities and provides support services.
24 Rental Income An church rents out a large portion of its office building. It charges rent to tenants whose activities are unrelated the organization s exempt purpose. There is a mortgage on the building. The tenant occupies the first floor of a 12 story building. 24
25 Rental Income When it is taxable Property is debt financed Tenant is a controlled corporation Based on a % of the tenant s net income Includes payment for services >50% is attributable to personal property 25
26 Rental Income Acquisition Indebtedness Acquiring the property Improving the property Incurred prior to acquisition/improvement, but would not have been incurred but for the acquisition/improvement Reasonably foreseeable debt Exception: property subject to mortgage, acquired by gift or bequest 26
27 Rental Income an Example 1. The Live Forever Church is incorporated as a tax-exempt church described in IRC Sec. 170(b)(1)(A)(i). On September 18, the Church purchases a building with $100,000 down and a $300,000 mortgage. Beginning in October, the Church makes monthly payments of $10,000 plus interest, paid on the 15 th of the month. What is the average acquisition debt? 2. The Foundation is allowed to take $4,000 of depreciation during the first year. What is the average adjusted basis of the property? 3. The Foundation earns 10,000 of rental income during the first year. How much of the rental income is subject to tax? 4. The Foundation incurs $7,000 of directly related office expenses during the first year. How much of the expenses may be deducted? Are there any indirect expenses that may be deducted? 27
28 Rental Income Planning Tip Subdivide the property into its exempt purpose portion and its rental portion Apply cash down payment to the rental portion Accelerate payments on the rental portion Exempt purpose portion is generates no taxable income regardless of leverage Exempt Use Portion Highly leveraged Rental Portion No Mortgage 28
29 Rental Income Neighborhood Land Rule Debt financed real property may produce income without generating UBI if: It is contiguous with exempt purpose property (not required for churches) The is a continuous intention to use the land for exempt purposes within 10 years (15 years for a church) Existing structures will need to be demolished The property is not subject to a lease for a term of more than 5 years The IRS is given sufficient notice before the end of the fifth year 29
30 Rental Income Neighborhood Land Rule Using borrowed funds, the church purchases a nearby parcel of land with the intention of demolishing the grocery store on the property and constructing a new worship center. A downturn in the economy has slowed the church's fundraising efforts. Demolition and construction activities have been delayed while the church attempts to raise capital to pay off the debt and begin construction, and the church continues to earn rental income from the owners of the grocery store. Five years after the purchase of the land, the church has secured the services of an architect and obtained preliminary drawings for the worship center. The church expects that demolition and construction will begin within the next seven years, with the new expanded church facilities placed into service before the expiration of the 15-year period. Is the rental income taxable? What additional reporting obligation does it have? 30
31 Parking Facilities A church owns a parking garage used by the general public and charges an hourly fee A church owns a parking garage, used by employees, ministers, congregants, and visitors, and charges an hourly fee The church leases the parking lots during weekdays to local businesses, and charges an hourly fee The church leases the parking garage to a 3 rd party operator 31

33 Retail Shops Church Bake Sales On the last Saturday of the month, congregants provide cookies, brownies, and other baked goods for resale. The customers are primarily members of the congregation, but the activity is not held contemporaneously with Sunday worship services. 33

For example, in exchange for a large donation, the nonprofit agrees to encourage its members to use the donor s goods and services, send out letters or s to its members, monitor and report on results, etc. Services provided by an exempt organization to a donor can result in a substantial return benefit to the donor without advancing the mission.
