ExplanationThe Film Collaborative is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by The Film Collaborative in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Film Collaborative's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 5TFC experienced ACH fraud from third party actors in November 2021. No TFC staff or board members were involved in perpetrating the fraud, and the full amount of $139,002, fraudulently debited funds was promptly reimbursed by the bank. TFC implemented several policies to reduce the chances of ACH fraud per best practices. In November 2021, we changed all passwords to more complex combinations of numbers/letters/characters, we activated dual verification on all financial accounts, and we restricted access internally among the company to reduce exposure. Unfortunately, following another incident of fraudulent ACH activity in February 2022, TFC implemented further measures of freezing/closing the affected account, activating bank notifications on all accounts for all transactions exceeding $100, and we are now supplying wire instructions on our invoices upon request only.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8bThe organization does not maintain additional committees in which documentation is necessary.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization makes copies of the returns and distributes to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review, and if applicable, discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an authorization is signed and provided to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed (paper or electronically) with the designated governmental agencies. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped and mailed with certified return receipt or the signed Form 8879 is provided to the outside accounting firm allowing electronic filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cOrganization monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy on an as needed basis.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aAny changes to salaries, along with the reasons for the changes, are presented to the Board for approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Governing documents are available for public inspection at the principal place of business. The conflict of interest policy and the organization's financial statements are available upon request.
