In 2015, we discovered that the organization was misinformed that filling a 990 or 990EZ was not required. We are still catching up to file the forms to the most recent year. While extensions were filed, we targeted to complete all past due returns before the end of 2017. Please be assured that the organization exercised absolute business care and prudence at all times.
