IRS990T/ItmzdSupplementalInfoGrp/ExplanationTxt0Pursuant to IRS Notice 2021-20, the Organization claimed and received an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) during the year ended September 30, 2020. As a result, the Organization reduced the salary expense deduction on its Form 990-T for that year for amounts that were reimbursed to the Organization through the ERC. However, during the preparation of the Form 990-T for the September 30, 2021 tax year, the Organization determined that it inadvertently failed to reduce its salary deduction during the September 30, 2020 tax year by a portion of the ERC it had received for that year in the amount of $8,584. The correction of this error resulted in an increase in taxable income from a net operating loss (NOL) of $(6,740) to taxable income of $1,843, which was offset by pre-2018 NOL carryovers available for the September 30, 2020 tax year. Since there was no additional tax due as a result of this correction, no amended Form 990-T for the September 30, 2020 tax year will be filed by the Organization. Rather, the pre-2018 NOL carryover to the September 30, 2021 tax year has been reduced by $1,843. Additionally, the post-2017 NOL carryover to the September 30, 2021 tax year for the Organization's unrelated business activity "Warehousing & Storage" (unrelated business activity code: 49) has been reduced by $6,741. The Organization has updated its NOL carryover schedule to reflect these adjustments accordingly.
