Plus, Inc, Is a § 501(c)(3) Organization

question 145

Essay

Plus, Inc., is a § 501(c)(3) organization. It generates a small amount of net income each year. Ralph, the CEO of Plus, Inc., is concerned that Plus may be subject to the unrelated business income tax. Is there a materiality exception to this tax? A 501(c)(3) with "net income" does not automatically result in a UBIT classification. They must be conducting a trade or business that is regularly carried on and that is not substantially related to its exempt purpose.
