“Changed from quicken to quickbooks and new treasurer. It was an opportunity to review past years books and returns. A detailed report from 2007 to current showing assets being overstated. The correction has been made in the books and return. Board did approve the changes. Please forgive late fees for this return. The preparer had issues efiling and solved with software co.
