### Information Tags
 

	
 
In contrast to documentation tags, information tags can more traditionally be
 
considered pure "meta-data" for a ledger entry.
 

	
 
#### Entity Tag
 

	
 
The `Entity:` tag is required for many types of ledger entries.  The value of
 
the `Entity:` tag is a unique moniker that identifies the organization,
 
company, person, or legal entity that is the external party for the
 
transaction.
 

	
 
Note that there is no database of these monikers, so typos can cause
 
trouble.  However, you could implement checks in
 
`accounts/config/config-tags.ledger` using a regular expression to verify no
 
typos have occurred.  This would be somewhat cumbersome, since Ledger CLI
 
would likely require that the monikers be encoded into a regular expression.

#### IncomeType Tag
 

	
 
The `IncomeType:` tag is used for all `Income:` accounts.  This refers to the
 
type of income.  The value of the `IncomeType:` tag is always a string.
 
Since this particular system is designed for USA non-profit entities who file
 
USA Form 990, the following `IncomeType` values are supported:
 

	
 
* `Donations`, which refers to standard charitable donations.
 

	
 
* `RBI`, which refers to "related business income".
 

	
 
* `UBTI`, which refers to "unrelated business taxable income".
 

	
 
Not that donor-advised funds and government grants don't currently have their
 
own `IncomeType`.  It's possible this might be necessary; the authors aren't
 
familiar with how to handle those items on the Form 990.  It would be a
 
relatively simple change to `config-tags.ledger`, though, to support other
 
income types, or to change it entirely to handle use-cases other than USA
 
Form 990 filing.
