FAQ
What Is Included in the Form? Your mission statement. Your financial data, including, a list of your expenses, revenue, liabilities, assets, tax deductions, and write-offs. Summaries of activities from the year. Governing body specifics, including names and salaries of top employees.
Part VII requires reporting of two types of compensation: 1) reportable compensation (amounts reportable on a person's Form W-2 (box 5) or Form 1099 (box 7)) and 2) other compensation.
Unrealized gain or loss on investments may be grouped with “investment income” on the financial statements. Form 990 does not take into account unrealized gain or loss in arriving at total revenue, thus it is a reconciling item on Schedule D.
On the 990, investment revenue is reported in Part XVIII, and investment expenses are reported in Part IX. Investment unrealized gains/losses are reported on your financial statements. For tax purposes, the investment return is not recognized until it is realized- that is until the investment is sold.
Unrealized losses and gains have no immediate tax consequences because they are just paper profits or paper losses. Investors only have to report gains or losses when they divest capital assets, and then they must reconcile the profit or loss on Schedule D of their Form 1040 in the same tax year they sold the asset.
Column (F) asks for the amount of “other compensation” which generally includes any compensation that is not included in box 1 or 5 of Form W-2, in box 1 of Form 1099-NEC or in box 6 of Form 1099-MISC.
Securities that are available for sale are also recorded on a company's balance sheet as an asset at fair value. However, the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in comprehensive income on the balance sheet.
The 990 is a public document that you can search for on the websites for the Secretary of State or the Attorney General where the organization is incorporated. In addition, 990s are available from a variety of open source and subscription sources. You may also request them from an organization or from the IRS.
Though it may appear technical and intimidating at first glance, a 990 isn't hard to navigate once you know what to look for.
