This course will provide nonprofit advisers with a comprehensive guide to reporting supplemental financial statement information on Schedule D of the Form 990 Exempt Organization Information Return. The panel will offer a practical part-by-part exploration of completing the schedule, focusing on identification and valuation of funds and assets that must be separately reported. The webinar will also address the interrelation between Schedule D disclosures and unrelated business taxable income (UBTI), and will discuss the requirements of Parts XI and XII to reconcile tax reporting to audited financial statements.

Description

About Form 990 Schedule D

One of the more complex Schedules on Form 990 Exempt Organization Tax Return is Schedule D, Supplemental Financial Statements. This Schedule is required for exempt organizations that hold donor advised funds, conservation easements, certain art and museum collections, escrow or custodial accounts or arrangements, or endowment funds. Schedule D also mandates reporting of PPE, investment securities, and “other” assets and liabilities.

Schedule D plays a critical role in identifying assets that could produce UBTI requiring payment of income tax (UBIT) and separate reporting. Tax advisers to exempt organizations need to have a thorough grasp of the interplay between assets reported on Schedule D and whether these assets will generate UBTI.

Schedule D also requires exempt organizations to complete a number of reconciliations, including reporting investment expenses, valuing in-kind donated services, and tying revenue and expenses from its audited financial statements to the Form 990. Further complicating matters is that the IRS instructions do not always provide clear guidance on how to report certain items. The combination of a lack of guidance and the complexity of the reporting requirements present a particular challenge to nonprofit advisers in reporting.

Listen as our experienced panel provides detailed guidance on completing Form 990 Schedule D, with concrete examples of completed forms and schedules.
