“Schedule c: the accompanying schedule c for 2023 form 990 is being filed with respect to the response to the yes answer on part iv question and that the association collects annual membership dues and special assessments to the individual sheriffs for the purpose to carry out law enforcement provided under laws of alabama. Thus part iii-b of schedule c was checked with respect to each question. The required information would have been as follows and reported per cite: item (1) $339,556 (reported at part viii, line 1b, 2022 form 990); item (2a) zero, item (2c) zero (reported at part ix, line 11d, 2023 form 990), item (3) zero, item (4) zero and item (5) zero. In as much as these amounts are reported on the original 2023 form 990, the filing of the supplemental schedule c is a duplication within the filing process which is not merited. The association files in this manner to make notice that the "$2,000 or less" is really zero, there are no direct expenses of this classification. Thus in summary, no lobbying expenses being made directly by the association, however the association has retained legal counsel to review proposed legislation and advise on matter which may materially alter the association's operations as well as the operational conduct of individual members (the sheriff of each county) in their officially prescribed capacity serving in the office of the sheriff under the laws of alabama.”

“Part xii - financial statements and reporting: the financial statements of the association are not audited, however a disclosure is being made via this statement that the association has elected to file the result of its financial operations under section 501(c)(6) of the irc and the excess of receipts over expenditures is non taxable as income. Also it has been determined that no form 990-t is required to be filed in that the association had no unrelated business gross income or any ubi exceeding $1,000 per disclosure as referenced in part v, item 3.”
