Tax Return for UBIT – Does your retirement plan own leveraged real estate or an active business? April 15, 2009
Posted by Jeff Nabers in : Self Directed IRA Solo 401k , add a commentJust a quick, last-minute reminder…
- If your IRA owns mortgage-leveraged real estate, you owe UBIT.
- If your IRA or 401(k) owns an active business structured as a pass through entity (such as an LLC or partnership), you owe UBIT.
- If your 401(k) owns mortgage-leveraged real estate AND the mortgage is a “seller carry”, you owe UBIT.
UBIT, or Unrelated Business Income Tax, applies to tax exempt organizations including retirement plans. To pay UBIT, Form 990-T must be filed with the IRS. If this is all news to you, once you are done scolding yourself, you may want to file for an extension using Form 8868.
