Information return for tax-exempt entities

Regardless of whether it is a corporation, an NPO must file an information return for tax-exempt entities (form TP-997.1-V, or Part IV of form CO-17.SP) if it meets one of the following conditions:

  • The total of the NPO's taxable dividends, or of the amounts received and receivable by the NPO as interest, rents or royalties, exceeded $10,000 for the fiscal period concerned.
  • The total value of the NPO's assets at the end of the fiscal period preceding the period concerned was over $200,000.
  • The NPO was required to file form TP-997.1-V or complete Part IV of form CO-17.SP for a fiscal period preceding the period concerned.

If the NPO normally files form CO-17.SP, it must complete Part IV of that form. If the NPO files form CO-17, it must use form TP-997.1-V. Regardless of the form used, the information return for tax-exempt entities must be filed within six months after the end of the NPO's fiscal period.

Example

ABC Inc. is an NPO. The value of ABC's assets at the end of its 2002 fiscal period was $215,000, and its rental income was $5,000. At the end of the following fiscal period, the value of its assets was $160,000 and its rental income was $2,500.

Since ABC's assets for 2002 were over $200,000, it must file an information return for tax-exempt entities for 2003 and all subsequent years.
