Is a church liable for tax on dividend, interest, annuities, royalties and rents from real property?
Generally, those forms of income are exempted from tax on unrelated business taxable income (IRC Sec 512(b). However, if the rental income is from Debt-Financed Property (not Mortgage-free) and less than 85 percent of the property is used for church’s exempt purpose, then it constitutes unrelated business taxable income.
