FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11BTHE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AND REVIEWED BY THE VP OF FINANCE AND OPERATIONS AND THE CEO.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST.
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2CTHE PROCESS HAS NOT CHANGED.
FORM 990THIS RETURN IS BEING SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY IN RESPONSE TO LTR 2694C, DATED AUGUST 31, 2022. THE NOTICE REFLECTS THE SERVICE'S INABILITY TO PROCESS THE ORGANIZATION'S FORM 990 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 DUE TO THE RETURN BEING PAPER FILED RATHER THAN ELECTRONICALLY FILED AS IS REQUIRED BY THE TAXPAYER FIRST ACT. THE ORGANIZATION'S FORM 1024, APPLICATION FOR RECOGNITION OF EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 501(A) WAS PENDING THE SERVICE'S APPROVAL AT THE ORIGINAL TIME OF FILING THE FORM 990 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021, WHICH WAS INDICATED IN BOX B OF PAGE 1 OF THE PAPER FILED RETURN. THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGED A CPA FIRM TO PREPARE AND FILE THEIR FORM 990 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ELECTRONICALLY FILE THE RETURN WITH THE SERVICE IT WAS REJECTED. THE REJECTION CODE CITED WAS F990-913-01 AND THE EXPLANATION PROVIDED STATED "TAX-EXEMPT STATUS SPECIFIED IN ITEM I, MUST MATCH DATA IN THE EFILE DATABASE." SINCE THE TAXPAYER FIRST ACT'S ELECTRONIC FILING REQUIREMENT APPLIES TO ORGANIZATIONS WITH TAX YEARS BEGINNING AFTER JULY 1, 2019 THE FORM 990 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 WOULD NORMALLY BE SUBJECT TO THE E-FILING REQUIREMENT AS THE TAX YEAR BEGAN ON OCTOBER 1, 2020. HOWEVER, SINCE THE FORM 1024, APPLICATION FOR RECOGNITION OF EXEMPTION UNDER SECTION 501(A), WAS PENDING AND THE RETURN WAS REJECTED WHEN ELECTRONICALLY FILED, THE TAXPAYER TIMELY PAPER FILED THEIR FORM 990 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021. AFTER THE ORIGINAL RETURN WAS PAPER FILED, THE SERVICE APPROVED THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX EXEMPT STATUS AND THE RETURN IS NOW ELIGIBLE FOR ELECTRONIC FILING. WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU UPDATE THE FILING DATE IN THE SYSTEM TO INDICATE THE FORM 990 FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 WAS TIMELY FILED BY THE EXTENDED DUE DATE OF AUGUST 15, 2022 AND NOT CHARGE ANY LATE FILING PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FILING.
