Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“A draft of the Form 990 is provided to the Board for review”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“prior to filing.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“Copies of all documents are available upon request.”

Other

“Late filing of Form 990 - The prior CPA did not file an extension for the Organization. The prior CPA has refused to return calls and to return the Organization's original financial records. We were unaware of the non-filing of the 2018 990 extension until we received an IRS notice dated 9/30/19. We engaged another CPA to file the 2018 990 prior to the 11/15/19 deadline. We will require documentation for any future extensions and have put in place procedures to ensure timely filings in the future. We are asking for a waiver of the late filing penalty as it was not intentional nor due to the fault of the Organization.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0A draft of the Form 990 is provided to the Board for review
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1prior to filing.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Copies of all documents are available upon request.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Late filing of Form 990 - The prior CPA did not file an extension for the Organization. The prior CPA has refused to return calls and to return the Organization's original financial records. We were unaware of the non-filing of the 2018 990 extension until we received an IRS notice dated 9/30/19. We engaged another CPA to file the 2018 990 prior to the 11/15/19 deadline. We will require documentation for any future extensions and have put in place procedures to ensure timely filings in the future. We are asking for a waiver of the late filing penalty as it was not intentional nor due to the fault of the Organization.
