“EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDITLaws and regulations concerning government programs, including the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, are complex and subject to varying interpretations. Claims made under the CARES Act may also be subject to retroactive audit and review. There can be no assurance that regulatory authorities will not challenge the Organizations claim to the ERC, and it is not possible to determine the impact (if any) this would have upon the Organization. During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Organization applied to receive $1,079,925 under ERC. The amount is recorded as receivables for the year ended October 31, 2024 because all barriers have been met during the year ended October 31, 2023. However, according to recent correspondence with the IRS and Paychex (as of May 2025), the IRS was unable to locate the original filings in its system, and the claims were not logged for processing. Paychex resent the filings with appropriate supporting documentation, including the signed amendments, a copy of the Form 8655, and proof of delivery for the prior submission. At the time of this report, the outcome of the amended filings remains uncertain, and amount related to the ERC has remained in the financial statements pending confirmation and processing by the IRS.”
