    How do you report in 990 property user fee from a property owned by a nonprofit? Can it be classified under the broader line item “Donations”?

    Hi Jerry — When you say “property user fee” do you mean rental fees of some kind? If the property the nonprofit owns is integral to its mission, I would say that’s program income (if, for example, a part of their mission is to provide space for xyz), but if they just happen to own a piece of property that they are maintaining and getting income from, that’s likely “other income” that needs to be itemized in Part VIII, Lines 6a-d. If you’re using the 990-EZ, then Other Revenue that you need to describe in Schedule O. Note that owning a building usually, but not always, pushes your total assets into the full 990, even if your revenue is in the $50,001-$199,999 range for the EZ.

    Thanks Jerry, for your question, and Cheryl, for participating in the forum! We just want to be sure that you mean rental as an income or an expense?
