Indiana Schedule IN-UBI Instructions explains how nonprofits report Indiana unrelated business income when they have more than one unrelated line of business, using Columns A–D to separate each activity and carry the right totals onto the related Indiana nonprofit unrelated business income return. It’s built for organizations with multiple unrelated trades or businesses so each “line of business” can be calculated cleanly—starting with UBI before NOL, removing non-unitary partnership income, applying the specific deduction tied to that activity, then applying Indiana add-backs/deductions, apportionment, and any Indiana-allocable partnership amounts to arrive at the final Indiana unrelated business income per activity. If you’re familiar with unrelated business income concepts generally, the key here is organization and traceability: each column equals one unrelated business, and every line (1–13) moves you from a starting income figure to the Indiana-taxable result for that specific business line.
How To File Indiana Schedule IN-UBI
Attach Schedule IN-UBI to your Indiana nonprofit unrelated business income tax return, and complete one column (A, B, C, D) for each separate unrelated line of business you’re reporting. If you have more than four unrelated businesses, prepare additional copies/pages using the same column structure so no activity gets blended together.
Before You Start
Name Of Organization: Enter the organization’s legal name consistently with the rest of your Indiana filing and your federal identification records.
Federal Employer Identification Number: Enter the organization’s FEIN/EIN.
Name Of Unrelated Business (Per Column): At the top of each column you use (A–D), label the unrelated business so the numbers in that column clearly tie to one activity.
How to Complete Indiana Schedule IN-UBI
Line 1: Enter the UBI before NOL for this specific line of business (your starting income figure for that activity).
Line 2: Enter non-unitary partnership income included in Line 1 that must be handled separately from the rest of the activity’s income.
Line 3: Enter the specific deduction attributable to this line of business, meaning a deduction you can directly connect to that activity.
Line 4: Compute Line 1 minus Line 2 minus Line 3 to get the adjusted amount before Indiana modifications.
Line 5: Enter an Indiana add-back or deduction name and code, then enter the related amount for this line of business.
Line 6: Enter the next Indiana add-back or deduction name and code, then enter the related amount for this line of business.
Line 7: Enter the next Indiana add-back or deduction name and code, then enter the related amount for this line of business.
Line 8: Enter the next Indiana add-back or deduction name and code, then enter the related amount for this line of business.
Line 9: Compute unrelated business income for the activity by adding Lines 4 through 8 (using positive/negative signs as applicable).
Line 10: Enter the Indiana apportionment percentage for this line of business, rounded to two decimals.
Line 11: Multiply Line 9 by Line 10 to get the apportioned Indiana amount for this line of business.
Line 12: Enter Indiana non-unitary partnership income (the Indiana piece of the partnership income referenced earlier).
Line 13: Add Line 11 and Line 12 to get the final Indiana unrelated business amount for that line of business.
Practical Tips So Nothing Gets Missed
Use one column per unrelated activity and don’t mix revenue/expenses across columns—this schedule is designed to keep each line of business distinct from start to finish. If you need more space for add-backs/deductions beyond Lines 5–8, add an attachment that clearly labels the column/business and lists additional modifications in the same format (name, code, amount).
