However, income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization did not have any unrelated business income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2022, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statement.

Through discovery they determined that a former board member changed access to those specific accounts without permission and took control of the funds. The Organization is currently in litigation with the State of Arizona to determine what/if any of those funds can be recovered.

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 LOSS on INVOLUNTARY CONVERSION = -$3617469 FORM 990, PAGE 1, BOX F On the front page of the Form 990, Dr. Simone Gold is listed as Chairman of the Free Speech Foundation, Inc (the Foundation). As of December 31, 2022, Joey Gilbert also claimed to be the Foundations Chairman. This contention was the subject of litigation initiated on behalf of the Foundation. In 2023, Joey Gilbert ceased claiming to hold any position with the Foundation. At the time of our Balance Sheet audit, Dr. Gold was the Foundations Chairman and had a general knowledge of the items reported on the Form 990 for the calendar year 2022. Notwithstanding the above referenced litigation which caused certain Foundation assets to be unavailable for reporting on its Balance Sheet for the period ending December 31, 2022, the auditors expressed an unmodified opinion regarding the Foundations Balance Sheet.
