River Hills Christian Academy

“Initially, River Hills Christian Academy planned to file their Form 990 on a calendar year basis. The school was formed on 04/23/14 and their exemption was granted by the IRS to that start date. The initial return would be a short year from 04/23/14 to 12/31/14 and would be due on 05/15/15. However, when the filing was sent in, the calendar year choice was scrapped in favor of a fiscal year to match the school's fiscal year. This was NOT communicated to the tax preparer. So, in May of 2015 a Form 990-N was submitted to the Urban Institute platform and was denied on the basis that no extension had been filed. Phone calls were made to the IRS office in Cincinnati. We informed them that we were unable to file the 990-N, but the agent, Mr. Chambers (#1000195772), assured us that it would not harm the exemption. The agent stressed that the entity needed to file within three years so that the exemption would not be lost. The period covered for the short year under the fiscal year of the school was 04/23/14 to 06/30/14. The revenue received during that period was $16,777. The return being filed today, 05/16/16, is then their "INITIAL" return and is so marked on page 1 of the Form 990-EZ.”
