#### 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.
