Form 990, Page 1, Item B

“The return is being amended upon completion of the audited financial statements to update financial information in parts i, iii, viii, ix, x, and xi, as well as schedules d and o.”

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

“Top notch helps kids identify their life passion and career goals and then map out the intentional steps that will ultimately lead to success, as theyve defined it for themselves. We connect our youth with relevant internships and mentors to gain the confidence, skills, and discipline to stay on track in executing their plan.”

Form 990, Page 12, Part XII, Line 1

“The organization changed its method of accounting to the accrual basis as of january 1, 2023.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The organization has been granted tax-exempt status under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and is, therefore, generally exempt from federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. Asc 740-10, "accounting for uncertainty in income taxes," requires the organization to evaluate and disclose tax positions that could have an effect on the organization's financial statements. The organization reports its activities to the internal revenue service and commonwealth of massachusetts on an annual basis. The informational returns are generally subject to audit and review by the governmental agencies for a period of three years after filing. Substantially all of the organization's income, expenditures and activities relate to its exempt purpose, therefore, management has determined that the organization is not subject to unrelated business income taxes and will continue to qualify as a tax-exempt not- for-profit entity.”
