Gao ID: GGD-85-43 March 29, 1985

Statistical data were presented on tax-exempt organizations earning income which is unrelated to their tax-exempt activities, or unrelated business income (UBI). The data presented were developed for fiscal years 1982 and 1983, and focused on UBI tax returns filed by tax-exempt organizations and UBI tax examinations performed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

GAO listed the categories of tax-exempt organizations which are subject to the UBI tax, and presented statistical data on the extent of UBI tax return filing activity and IRS examination coverage and the results of the IRS UBI tax return examinations. The information was provided to IRS officials for their review and comment and the officials agreed with the data presented.
