                               (CONTINUED)
 
Procedure and Administration--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1.6033-2  Returns by exempt organizations (taxable years 

beginning after December 31, 1969) and returns by certain 
nonexempt organizations (taxable years beginning after December 
31, 1980).

    (a) In general. (1) Except as provided in section 6033(a)(2) and 
paragraph (g) of this section, every organization exempt from taxation 
under section 501(a) shall file an annual information return 
specifically setting forth its items of gross income, gross receipts

[[Page 138]]

and disbursements, and such other information as may be prescribed in 
the instructions issued with respect to the return. Except as provided 
in paragraph (d) of this section, such return shall be filed annually 
regardless of whether such organization is chartered by, or affiliated 
or associated with, any central, parent, or other organization.
    (2)(i) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph and paragraph 
(g) of this section, every organization exempt from taxation under 
section 501(a), and required to file a return under section 6033 and 
this section (including, for taxable years ending before December 31, 
1972, private foundations, as defined in section 509(a)), other than an 
organization described in section 401(a) or 501(d), shall file its 
annual return on Form 990. For taxable years ending on or after December 
31, 1972, every private foundation shall file Form 990-PF as its annual 
information return. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1977, 
every section 501(c)(21) black lung trust shall file an annual 
information return on Form 990-BL or any other form prescribed by the 
Internal Revenue Service for that purpose.
    (ii) The information generally required to be furnished by an 
organization exempt under section 501(a) is:
    (a) Its gross income for the year. For this purpose, gross income 
includes tax-exempt income, but does not include contributions, gifts, 
grants, and similar amounts received. Whether an item constitutes a 
contribution, gift, grant, or similar amount depends upon all the 
surrounding facts and circumstances. The computation of gross income 
shall be made by subtracting the cost of goods sold from all receipts 
other than gross contributions, gifts, grants, and similar amounts 
received and nonincludible dues and assessments from members and 
affiliates.
    (b) To the extent not included in gross income, its dues and 
assessments from members and affiliates for the year.
    (c) Its expenses incurred within the year attributable to gross 
income.
    (d) Its disbursements (including prior years' accumulations) made 
within the year for the purposes for which it is exempt.
    (e) A balance sheet showing its assets, liabilities, and net worth 
as of the beginning and end of such year. Detailed information relating 
to the assets, liabilities, and net worth shall be furnished on the 
schedule provided for this purpose on the return required by this 
section. Such schedule shall be supplemented by attachments where 
appropriate.
    (f) The total of the contributions, gifts, grants and similar 
amounts received by it during the taxable year, and the names and 
addresses of all persons who contributed, bequeathed, or devised $5,000 
or more (in money or other property) during the taxable year. In the 
case of a private foundation (as defined in section 509(a)), the names 
and addresses of all persons who became substantial contributors (as 
defined in section 507(d)(2)) during the taxable year shall be 
furnished. In addition, for its first taxable year beginning after 
December 31, 1969, each private foundation shall furnish the names and 
addresses of all persons who became substantial contributors before such 
taxable year. For special rules with respect to contributors and donors, 
see subdivision (iii) of this subparagraph.
    (g) The names and addresses of all officers, directors, or trustees 
(or any person having responsibilities or powers similar to those of 
officers, directors, or trustees) of the organization, and, in the case 
of a private foundation, all persons who are foundation managers, within 
the meaning of section 4946(b)(1). Organizations described in section 
501(c)(3) must also attach a schedule showing the names and addresses of 
the five employees (if any) who received the greatest amount of annual 
compensation in excess of $30,000; the total number of other employees 
who received annual compensation in excess of $30,000; the names and 
addresses of the five independent contractors (if any) who performed 
personal services of a professional nature for the organization (such as 
attorneys, accountants, and doctors, whether such services are performed 
by such persons in their individual capacity or as employees of a 
professional service corporation) and who received the greatest amount 
of compensation in excess

[[Page 139]]

of $30,000 from the organization for the year for the performance of 
such services; and the total number of other such independent 
contractors who received in excess of $30,000 for the year for the 
performance of such services.
    (h) A schedule showing the compensation and other payments made 
during the organization's annual accounting period (or during the 
calendar year ending within such period) which are includible in the 
gross income of each individual whose name is required to be listed in 
(g) of this subdivision.
    (i) For any taxable year ending on or after December 31, 1971, such 
information as is required by Forms 4848 and 4849 and, only with respect 
to any such taxable year ending before December 31, 1972, such 
information as is required by Form 2950. Such forms are required by this 
section to be filed by an organization exempt from tax under section 
501(a) which is an employer who maintains a funded pension or annuity 
plan for its employees. See paragraph (g) of this section for exceptions 
from filing. Form 4849 need not be filed by the organization if the 
fiduciary for the plan has given written notification to the 
organization that such form will be filed as an attachment to Form 990-P 
filed by the fiduciary. Form 4848 (and Form 4849 if required to be filed 
by the organization) shall be filed as a separate return on or before 
the due date for Form 990. For rules relating to the extension of time 
for filing, see section 6081 and the regulations thereunder and the 
instructions for Form 4848. A central organization which files Form 990 
as a group return under paragraph (d) of this section may also file Form 
4848 as a group return. The rules provided by paragraph (d) of this 
section with respect to a group return filed on Form 990 shall apply to 
a group return filed on Form 4848. Unless otherwise expressly provided 
therein, an authorization to include a local organization in a group for 
purposes of filing Form 990 as a group return shall be treated as an 
authorization to include such local organization in a group for purposes 
of filing Form 4848 as a group return. A group return on Form 4848 shall 
be filed in accordance with this section and the instructions to Form 
4848 and shall be considered the return of each local organization 
included therein. In addition to the information required to be 
furnished by Forms 4848 and 4849, the district director may require any 
further information that he considers necessary to determine 
qualification of the plan under section 401 or the taxability under 
section 403(b) of a beneficiary under an annuity purchased by a section 
501(c)(3) organization.
    (j) In the case of a private foundation liable for tax imposed under 
chapter 42, such information as is required by Form 4720.
    (k) Its lobbying expenditures, grass roots expenditures, exempt 
purpose expenditures, lobbying nontaxable amount, and grass roots 
nontaxable amount for the taxable year and for prior taxable years that 
are base years (within the meaning of Sec.  1.501(h)-3(c)(7)), if the 
organization has an election under section 501(h) in effect for the 
taxable year. An organization that is a member of an affiliated group of 
organizations (as defined in Sec.  56.4911-7(e)) but that is not a 
member of a limited affiliated group (as defined in Sec.  56.4911-10(b)) 
shall report this information based on the expenditures of all members 
of the group during the taxable year of the group that ends with or 
within the member's taxable year and for prior taxable years of the 
group that are base years (within the meaning of Sec.  56.4911-9(b)). 
For additional information required to be furnished by members of an 
affiliated group of organizations, and by controlling members in a 
limited affiliated group, see Sec. Sec.  56.4911-9(d) and 56.4911-
10(f)(1), respectively.
    (iii) Special rules. In providing the names and addresses of 
contributors and donors under subdivision (ii)(f) of this subparagraph:
    (a) An organization described in section 501(c)(3) which meets the 
33\1/3\ percent-of-support test of the regulations under section 
170(b)(1)(A)(vi) (without regard to whether such organization otherwise 
qualifies as an organization described in section 170(b)(1)(A)) is 
required to provide the name and address of a person who contributed, 
bequeathed, or devised $5,000 or more during the year only if his amount 
is in

[[Page 140]]

excess of 2 percent of the total contributions, bequests and devises 
received by the organization during the year.
    (b) An organization other than a private foundation is required to 
report only the names and addresses of contributors of whom it has 
actual knowledge. For instance, an organization need not require an 
employer who withholds contributions from the compensation of employees 
and pays over to the organization periodically the total amounts 
withheld, to specify the amounts paid over with respect to a particular 
employee. In such case, unless the organization has actual knowledge 
that a particular employee gave more than $5,000 (and in excess of 2 
percent if (a) of this subdivision is applicable), the organization need 
report only the name and address of the employer, and the total amount 
paid over by him.
    (c) Separate and independent gifts made by one person in a 
particular year need be aggregated to determine if his contributions and 
bequests exceed $5,000 (and in excess of 2 percent if (a) of this 
subdivision is applicable), only if such gifts are of $1,000 or more.
    (d)(1) Organizations described in section 501(c) (8) or (10) (and, 
for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1970, organizations 
described in section 501(c)(7)) that receive contributions or bequests 
to be used exclusively for purposes described in section 170(c)(4), 
2055(a)(3), or 2522(a)(3), must attach a schedule with respect to all 
gifts which aggregate more than $1,000 from any one person showing the 
name of the donor, the amount of the contribution or bequest, the 
specific purpose for which such amount was received, and the specific 
use to which such amount was put. In the case of an amount set aside for 
such purposes, the organization shall indicate the manner in which such 
amount is held (for instance, whether such amount is commingled with 
amounts held for other purposes). If the contribution or bequest was 
transferred to another organization, the schedule must include the name 
of the transferee organization, a description of the nature of such 
organization, and a description of the relationship between the 
transferee and transferor organizations.
    (2) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1970, such 
organizations must also attach a statement showing the total dollar 
amount of contributions and bequests received for such purposes which 
are $1,000 or less.
    (iv) Listing of States. A private foundation is required to attach 
to its return required by this section a list of all States:
    (a) To which the organization reports in any fashion concerning its 
organization, assets, or activities, or
    (b) With which the organization has registered (or which it has 
otherwise notified in any manner) that it intends to be, or is, a 
charitable organization or a holder of property devoted to a charitable 
purpose.
    (3)(i) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1969, and 
ending before December 31, 1971, every employee's trust described in 
section 401(a) which is exempt from taxation under section 501(a) shall 
file an annual return on Form 990-P. The return shall include the 
information required by paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of Sec.  1.401-1. For such 
years, in addition, the trust must file the information required to be 
filed by the employer pursuant to the provisions of Sec.  1.404(a)-2, 
unless the employer has notified the trustee in writing that he has 
filed or will timely file such information. If the trustee has received 
such notification from the employer, then such notification, or a copy 
thereof, shall be retained by the trust as a part of its records.
    (ii) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1971, and 
before December 31, 1975, every employee's trust described in section 
401(a) which is exempt from taxation under section 501(a) shall file an 
annual return on Form 990-P. The trust shall furnish such information as 
is required by such form and the instructions issued with respect 
thereto.
    (4) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1980, trusts 
described in section 4947(a)(1) and nonexempt private foundations shall 
comply with the requirements of section 6033 and this section in the 
same manner as organizations described in section 501(c)(3) which are 
exempt from tax under section 501(a). This section shall be applied for 
taxable years beginning after

[[Page 141]]

December 31, 1980 as if trusts described in section 4947(a)(1) and 
nonexempt private foundations were described in section 501(c)(3). 
Therefore, for purposes of this section, all references to exempt 
organizations shall include section 4947(a)(1) trusts and nonexempt 
private foundations and all references to private foundations shall 
include section 4947(a)(1) trusts that would be private foundations if 
they were described in section 501(c)(3) and all nonexempt private 
foundations. Similarly, for purposes of paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(d), the 
purposes for which a section 4947(a)(1) trust or a nonexempt private 
foundation is organized shall be treated as the purposes for which it is 
exempt. For purposes of this section, the term ``nonexempt private 
foundation'' means a taxable organization (other than a section 
4947(a)(1) trust) that is a private foundation. See section 509(b) and 
Sec.  1.509(b)-1. See also section 642(c)(6) and Sec.  1.642(c)-4.
    (b) Accounting period for filing return. A return required by this 
section shall be on the basis of the established annual accounting 
period of the organization. If the organization has no such established 
accounting period, such return shall be on the basis of the calendar 
year.
    (c) Returns when exempt status not established. An organization 
claiming an exempt status under section 501(a) prior to the 
establishment of such exempt status under section 501 and Sec.  
1.501(a)-1, shall file a return required by this section in accordance 
with the instructions applicable thereto. In such case the organization 
must indicate on such return that it is being filed in the belief that 
the organization is exempt under section 501(a), but that the Internal 
Revenue Service has not yet recognized such exemption.
    (d) Group returns. (1) A central, parent, or like organization 
(referred to in this paragraph as ``central organization''), exempt 
under section 501(a) and described in section 501(c) (other than a 
private foundation), although required to file a separate annual return 
for itself under section 6033 and paragraph (a) of this section, may 
file annually, in addition to such separate annual return, a group 
return on Form 990. Such group return may be filed for two or more of 
the local organizations, chapters, or the like (referred to in this 
paragraph as ``local organizations'') which are (i) affiliated with such 
central organization at the close of its annual accounting period, (ii) 
subject to the general supervision or control of the central 
organization, and (iii) exempt from taxation under the same paragraph of 
section 501(c) of the Code, although the local organizations are not 
necessarily exempt under the paragraph under which the central 
organization is exempt. Such group return may not be filed for a local 
organization which is a private foundation.
    (2)(i) The filing of the group return shall be in lieu of the filing 
of a separate return by each of the local organizations included in the 
group return. The group return shall include only those local 
organizations which in writing have authorized the central organization 
to include them in the group return, and which have made and filed, with 
the central organization, their statements, specifically stating their 
items of gross income, receipts, and disbursements, and such other 
information relating to them as is required to be stated in the group 
return. Such an authorization and statement by a local organization 
shall be made under the penalties of perjury, shall be signed by a duly 
authorized officer of the local organization in his official capacity, 
and shall contain the following statement, or a statement of like 
import: ``I hereby declare under the penalties of perjury that this 
authorization (including any accompanying schedules and statements) has 
been examined by me and to the best of my knowledge and belief is true, 
correct and complete and made in good faith.'' Such authorization and 
statement with respect to a local organization shall be retained by the 
central organization until the expiration of 6 years after the last 
taxable year for which a group return filed by such central organization 
includes such local organization.
    (ii) There shall be attached to the group return and made a part 
thereof a schedule showing the name, address, and employer 
identification number of each of the local organizations and the total 
number thereof included in such return, and a schedule showing the

[[Page 142]]

name, address, and employer identification number of each of the local 
organizations and the total number thereof not included in the group 
return.
    (3) The group return shall be on the basis of the established annual 
accounting period of the central organization. Where such central 
organization has no established annual accounting period, such return 
shall be on the basis of the calendar year. The same income, receipts, 
and disbursements of a local organization shall not be included in more 
than one group return.
    (4) The group return shall be filed in accordance with these 
regulations and the instructions issued with respect to Form 990, and 
shall be considered the return of each local organization included 
therein. The tax exempt status of a local organization must be 
established under a group exemption letter issued to the central 
organization before a group return including the local organization will 
be considered as the return of the local organization. See Sec.  
1.501(a)-1 for requirements for establishing a tax-exempt status.
    (5) In providing the information required by paragraph (a)(2)(ii) 
(f), (g), and (h) of this section, such information may be provided:
    (i) With respect to the central or parent organization on its Form 
990, and with respect to the local organizations on separate schedules 
attached to the group return for the year, or
    (ii) On a consolidated basis for all the local organizations and the 
central or parent organization on the group return.

Such information need be provided only with respect to those local 
organizations which are not excepted from filing under the provisions of 
paragraph (g) of this section. A central or parent organization shall 
indicate whether it has provided such information in the manner 
described in subdivision (i) or in subdivision (ii) of this 
subparagraph, and may not change the manner in which it provides such 
information without the consent of the Commissioner.
    (e) Time and place for filing. The annual return required by this 
section shall be filed on or before the 15th day of the fifth calendar 
month following the close of the period for which the return is required 
to be filed. The annual return on Form 1065 required to be filed by a 
religious or apostolic association or corporation shall be filed on or 
before the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the 
taxable year for which the return is required to be filed. Each such 
return shall be filed in accordance with the instructions applicable 
thereto.
    (f) Penalties and additions to tax. For penalties and additions to 
tax for failure to file a return and filing a false or fraudulent 
return, see sections 6652, 7203, 7206, and 7207.
    (g) Organizations not required to file annual returns. (1) Annual 
returns required by this section are not required to be filed by an 
organization exempt from taxation under section 501(a) which is:
    (i) A church, an interchurch organization of local units of a 
church, a convention or association of churches, or an integrated 
auxiliary of a church (as defined in paragraph (h) of this section);
    (ii) An exclusively religious activity of any religious order;
    (iii) An organization (other than a private foundation) the gross 
receipts of which in each taxable year are normally not more than $5,000 
(as described in subparagraph (3) of this paragraph);
    (iv) A mission society sponsored by or affiliated with one or more 
churches or church denominations, more than one-half of the activities 
of which society are conducted in, or directed at persons in foreign 
countries;
    (v) A State institution, the income of which is excluded from gross 
income under section 115(a);
    (vi) An organization described in section 501(c)(1); or
    (vii) An educational organization (below college level) that is 
described in section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii), that has a program of a general 
academic nature, and that is affiliated (within the meaning of paragraph 
(h)(2) of this section) with a church or operated by a religious order.
    (2) The provisions of section 6033(a) relieving certain specified 
types of organizations exempt from taxation

[[Page 143]]

under section 501(a) from filing annual returns do not abridge or impair 
in any way the powers and authority of district directors or directors 
of service centers provided for in other provisions of the Code and in 
regulations thereunder to require the filing of returns or notices by 
such organizations. See section 6001 and Sec.  1.6001-1.
    (3) For purposes of subparagraph (1)(iii) of this paragraph, the 
gross receipts (as defined in subparagraph (4) of this paragraph) of an 
organization are normally not more than $5,000 if:
    (i) In the case of an organization which has been in existence for 1 
year or less, the organization has received, or donors have pledged to 
give, gross receipts of $7,500 or less during the first taxable year of 
the organization,
    (ii) In the case of an organization which has been in existence for 
more than one but less than 3 years, the average of the gross receipts 
received by the organization in its first 2 taxable years is $6,000 or 
less, and
    (iii) In the case of an organization which has been in existence for 
3 years or more, the average of the gross receipts received by the 
organization in the immediately preceding 3 taxable years, including the 
year for which the return would be required to be filed, is $5,000 or 
less.
    (4) For purposes of this paragraph and paragraph (a)(2) of this 
section, ``gross receipts'' means the gross amount received by the 
organization during its annual accounting period from all sources 
without reduction for any costs or expenses including, for example, cost 
of goods or assets sold, cost of operations, or expenses of earning, 
raising, or collecting such amounts. Thus ``gross receipts'' includes, 
but is not limited to (i) the gross amount received as contributions, 
gifts, grants, and similar amounts without reduction for the expenses of 
raising and collecting such amounts, (ii) the gross amount received as 
dues or assessments from members or affiliated organizations without 
reduction for expenses attributable to the receipt of such amounts, 
(iii) gross sales or receipts from business activities (including 
business activities unrelated to the purpose for which the organization 
qualifies for exemption, the net income or loss from which may be 
required to be reported on Form 990-T), (iv) the gross amount received 
from the sale of assets without reduction for cost or other basis and 
expenses of sale, and (v) the gross amount received as investment 
income, such as interest, dividends, rents, and royalties.
    (5) [Reserved]
    (6) The Commissioner may relieve any organization or class of 
organizations from filing, in whole or in part, the annual return 
required by this section where he determines that such returns are not 
necessary for the efficient administration of the internal revenue laws.
    (h) Integrated auxiliary--(1) In general. For purposes of this 
title, the term integrated auxiliary of a church means an organization 
that is--
    (i) Described both in sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a) (1), (2), or 
(3);
    (ii) Affiliated with a church or a convention or association of 
churches; and
    (iii) Internally supported.
    (2) Affiliation. An organization is affiliated with a church or a 
convention or association of churches, for purposes of paragraph 
(h)(1)(ii) of this section, if--
    (i) The organization is covered by a group exemption letter issued 
under applicable administrative procedures, (such as Rev. Proc. 80-27 
(1980-1 C.B. 677); See Sec.  601.601(a)(2)(ii)(b)), to a church or a 
convention or association of churches;
    (ii) The organization is operated, supervised, or controlled by or 
in connection with (as defined in Sec.  1.509(a)-4) a church or a 
convention or association of churches; or
    (iii) Relevant facts and circumstances show that it is so 
affiliated.
    (3) Facts and circumstances. For purposes of paragraph (h)(2)(iii) 
of this section, relevant facts and circumstances that indicate an 
organization is affiliated with a church or a convention or association 
of churches include the following factors. However, the absence of one 
or more of the following factors does not necessarily preclude 
classification of an organization as being affiliated with a church or a 
convention or association of churches--

[[Page 144]]

    (i) The organization's enabling instrument (corporate charter, trust 
instrument, articles of association, constitution or similar document) 
or by-laws affirm that the organization shares common religious 
doctrines, principles, disciplines, or practices with a church or a 
convention or association of churches;
    (ii) A church or a convention or association of churches has the 
authority to appoint or remove, or to control the appointment or removal 
of, at least one of the organization's officers or directors;
    (iii) The corporate name of the organization indicates an 
institutional relationship with a church or a convention or association 
of churches;
    (iv) The organization reports at least annually on its financial and 
general operations to a church or a convention or association of 
churches;
    (v) An institutional relationship between the organization and a 
church or a convention or association of churches is affirmed by the 
church, or convention or association of churches, or a designee thereof; 
and
    (vi) In the event of dissolution, the organization's assets are 
required to be distributed to a church or a convention or association of 
churches, or to an affiliate thereof within the meaning of this 
paragraph (h).
    (4) Internal support. An organization is internally supported, for 
purposes of paragraph (h)(1)(iii) of this section, unless it both--
    (i) Offers admissions, goods, services or facilities for sale, other 
than on an incidental basis, to the general public (except goods, 
services, or facilities sold at a nominal charge or for an insubstantial 
portion of the cost); and
    (ii) Normally receives more than 50 percent of its support from a 
combination of governmental sources, public solicitation of 
contributions, and receipts from the sale of admissions, goods, 
performance of services, or furnishing of facilities in activities that 
are not unrelated trades or businesses.
    (5) Special rule. Men's and women's organizations, seminaries, 
mission societies, and youth groups that satisfy paragraphs (h)(1) (i) 
and (ii) of this section are integrated auxiliaries of a church 
regardless of whether such an organization meets the internal support 
requirement under paragraph (h)(1)(iii) of this section.
    (6) Effective date. This paragraph (h) applies for returns filed for 
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1969. For returns filed for 
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1969 but beginning before 
December 20, 1995, the definition for the term integrated auxiliary of a 
church set forth in Sec.  1.6033-2(g)(5) (as contained in the 26 CFR 
edition revised as of April 1, 1995) may be used as an alternative 
definition to such term set forth in this paragraph (h).
    (7) Examples of internal support. The internal support test of this 
paragraph (h) is illustrated by the following examples, in each of which 
it is assumed that the organization's provision of goods and services 
does not constitute an unrelated trade or business:

    Example 1. Organization A is described in sections 501(c)(3) and 
509(a)(2) and is affiliated (within the meaning of this paragraph (h)) 
with a church. Organization A publishes a weekly newspaper as its only 
activity. On an incidental basis, some copies of Organization A's 
publication are sold to nonmembers of the church with which it is 
affiliated. Organization A advertises for subscriptions at places of 
worship of the church. Organization A is internally supported, 
regardless of its sources of financial support, because it does not 
offer admissions, goods, services, or facilities for sale, other than on 
an incidental basis, to the general public. Organization A is an 
integrated auxiliary.
    Example 2. Organization B is a retirement home described in sections 
501(c)(3) and 509(a)(2). Organization B is affiliated (within the 
meaning of this paragraph (h)) with a church. Admission to Organization 
B is open to all members of the community for a fee. Organization B 
advertises in publications of general distribution appealing to the 
elderly and maintains its name on non-denominational listings of 
available retirement homes. Therefore, Organization B offers its 
services for sale to the general public on more than an incidental 
basis. Organization B receives a cash contribution of $50,000 annually 
from the church. Fees received by Organization B from its residents 
total $100,000 annually. Organization B does not receive any government 
support or contributions from the general public. Total support is 
$150,000 ($100,000 + $50,000), and $100,000 of that total is from 
receipts from the performance of services (66\2/3\% of total support). 
Therefore, Organization B receives more than 50 percent of its support 
from receipts

from the performance of services. Organization B is not internally 
supported and is not an integrated auxiliary.
    Example 3. Organization C is a hospital that is described in 
sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1). Organization C is affiliated (within 
the meaning of this paragraph (h)) with a church. Organization C is open 
to all persons in need of hospital care in the community, although most 
of Organization C's patients are members of the same denomination as the 
church with which Organization C is affiliated. Organization C maintains 
its name on hospital listings used by the general public, and 
participating doctors are allowed to admit all patients. Therefore, 
Organization C offers its services for sale to the general public on 
more than an incidental basis. Organization C annually receives $250,000 
in support from the church, $1,000,000 in payments from patients and 
third party payors (including Medicare, Medicaid and other insurers) for 
patient care, $100,000 in contributions from the public, $100,000 in 
grants from the federal government (other than Medicare and Medicaid 
payments) and $50,000 in investment income. Total support is $1,500,000 
($250,000 + $1,000,000 + $100,000 + $100,000 + $50,000), and $1,200,000 
($1,000,000 + $100,000 + $100,000) of that total is support from 
receipts from the performance of services, government sources, and 
public contributions (80% of total support). Therefore, Organization C 
receives more than 50 percent of its support from receipts from the 
performance of services, government sources, and public contributions. 
Organization C is not internally supported and is not an integrated 
auxiliary.

    (i) Records, statements, and other returns of tax-exempt 
organizations. (1) An organization which is exempt from taxation under 
section 501(a) and is not required to file annually an information 
return required by this section shall immediately notify in writing the 
district director for the internal revenue district in which its 
principal office is located of any changes in its character, operations, 
or purpose for which it was originally created.
    (2) Every organization which is exempt from tax, whether or not it 
is required to file an annual information return, shall submit such 
additional information as may be required by the Internal Revenue 
Service for the purpose of inquiring into its exempt status and 
administering the provisions of subchapter F (section 501 and 
following), chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code, section 6033, and 
chapter 42 of subtitle D of the Code. See section 6001 and Sec.  1.6001-
1 with respect to the authority of the district directors or directors 
of service centers to require such additional information and with 
respect to the books of account or records to be kept by such 
organizations.
    (3) An organization which has established its exemption from 
taxation under section 501(a), including an organization which is 
relieved under section 6033 and this section from filing annual returns 
of information, is not relieved of the duty of filing other returns of 
information. See, for example, sections 6041, 6043, 6051, 6057, and 6058 
and the regulations thereunder.
    (j) Unrelated business tax returns. In addition to the foregoing 
requirements of this section, certain organizations otherwise exempt 
from tax under section 501(a) which are subject to tax on unrelated 
business taxable income are also required to file returns on Form 990-T. 
See paragraph (e) of Sec.  1.6012-2 and paragraph (a)(5) of Sec.  
1.6012-3 for requirements with respect to such returns.
    (k) Effective date. The provisions of this section shall apply with 
respect to returns filed for taxable years beginning after December 31, 
1969.
