“The 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 affidavit is signed to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed with the designated governmental agencies. Before the tax returns are filed, a final tax return copy is forwarded to all Board members. The tax returns are then signed by the organization, stamped with certified return receipt and timely placed in the mail for filing.”
