Thanks, Chris. I like the Flintstones reference.
Related issue, different question.
This organization has many member-related social events throughout the year. They are usually a dinner. Members are free to bring guests. The organization does make a profit on such events. It probably is not much of a profit if we were to go through the hassle of allocating overhead expenses. Again, I do not suspect this would be UBTI for same reasons, above. The intent is not to generate profit, the intent is to fraternize.
The prior CPA was reporting these events as a Fund Raising Event on Form 990, Part VIII, Line 8a and allocating to Exempt Income. I think Line 2a Program Service Revenue is more appropriate. I know I am nit-picking, but the $$'s just look too big to show as a Fund Raiser. It's more than the total dues that the members pay.
