Common questions about Form 990 net investment income/adjusted net income in ProConnect Tax

Below are solutions to frequently asked questions about entering Form 990/990-PF net investment income or adjusted net income in the Exempt Organization return.

Why do gross rents entered in Rental Income show on Form 990-PF line 11 instead of line 5a? 

Rents will show on Form 990-PF, line 5a (Gross rents) or Form 990-PF, line 11 (Other revenue) based on whether they're considered investment income or noninvestment income.

Gross rents that are noninvestment income show on Form 990-PF, line 11. The default is to show rents as noninvestment income. Noninvestment income may require reconciliation to the books on line 11.

Follow these steps to reconcile noninvestment income:

1. Go to Input Return ⮕ Revenue ⮕ Net Invest. Inc./Adj. Net Inc. (990-PF)
2. Enter the amount in the applicable column for the Rental income - noninvestment property field.

Where can I enter Schedule K-1 information flowing into an exempt organization return? 

There's no specific detail screen to enter income reported to the organization from a K-1 in the Exempt Organization module. Income and expenses reported on the Schedule K-1 may be entered on different screens based on the kind of income or expense and how it should be reported on Form 990, 990-PF, or 990-T.

Below are examples of which screens can be used:

• Other Revenue
• Rental Income
• Investment Income
• Dispositions
• Passthroughs Income (990-T)
• Unrelated Business (990-T)

This list doesn't cover every screen where you can report the income or expenses. It's up to the preparer to determine where to report the amounts from the K-1 on the return.
