> ℹ️ This article provides instructions on how to create a new 990-T return within the Crosslink Business software.

**Follow the instructions below to successfully create a new Form990-T return in Crosslink Business:**

1. Follow the instructions for <span style="color: #1f73b7">**[Business – Starting a Tax Return](https://crosslinktax.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSC/pages/1869292915)**</span>. When selecting the entity type, choose **990**.
2. Crosslink supports two methods of filing the 990-T for organizations with unrelated business taxable income.
3. If this organization **does not** have a filing requirement for either Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Form 990-PF but **does** have unrelated business taxable income, navigate to the **Client Data Screen** and scroll down to the **Organization Information** Select the checkbox next to **Organization exempt from filing 990 series but with unrelated business taxable income (Filing Form 990-T only). **This allows Form 990-T to be filed as a standalone return.
4. If this taxpayer **does** have an obligation to file either Form 990, Form 990-EZ, or Form 990-PF **and** has more than $1,000 in unrelated business taxable income, navigate to the **Client Data Screen** and scroll down to the **Organization Information** Select the checkbox next to **Organization filing Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF with $1,000 or more in unrelated business income (Form 990-T filed in addition to Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF)**. This allows Form 990-T to be filed as a secondary return.
