“Before submission, a draft of the 990 form is reviewed by the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, and a sub-committee of board members.”
“The agency has board members, parents involved in the policy council, and employees sign a conflict of interest disclosure.”
“The base executive salary was determined several years ago based on a study comparing other head start agencies and similar-sized non-profit organizations. Since its inception, the base executive salary continues to be lower in comparison to other comparable positions. The only change to the base salary for quite some time now has been a minimal cost-of-living adjustment (cola).”
“The agency provides all governing documents, conflicts of interest policy, financial statements and form 990 upon request.”
“Head start qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and accordingly has no provision for income taxes. In addition, contributors to head start qualify for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a). Head start is classified as an organization other than a private foundation under section 509(a)(2). Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require head start's management to evaluate tax positions taken by head start and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if head start has taken any uncertain tax positions that more than likely would not be sustained upon examination by the irs. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by head start and has concluded that as of october 31, 2021, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a tax liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. Head start is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2018.”
“In-kind contributions 493,352.”
“In-kind expenses 493,352.”
