Form 990, Part III, Line 2

“In 2020 the organization shifted its focus to providing assistance to low-income families in West Oakland to afford fresh foods and groceries during the pandemic by enabling discounts and subsidies on purchases made at the grocery store. The grocery store provided up 50% off in discounts to customers who paid with SNAP/CalFresh for purchases of qualifying items such as fruits and vegetables, meat products, dairy products and staple groceries. The grocery store submitted reports of the discounts it provided to given to low-income families in West Oakland and the organization reimbursed the grocery store for those discount.”

Form 990, Part III, Line 3

“Due to the unforeseen impacts of the pandemic and the resulting need to reduce the number of people in the grocery store environment at any one time efforts to develop and operate an apprenticeship program within the grocery store were postponed. This effort will be started again once there is full recovery from the pandemic and it is feasible to operate such a program within the grocery store environment in a safe manner that complies with public health guidance.”

ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0The initial e-filing of this Form 990 through www.form990.org was rejected by the IRS for the following errors: -- F990-906-01: The return type indicated in the return header must match the return type established with the IRS for the EIN. -- F990-902-01: The "EIN" in the return must have been established as an exempt organization return filer in the e-file database. A representative at www.form990.org advised that the F990-902 and F990-906 errors indicated that there may be a problem with the organization's record in the IRS database and to contact the IRS Tax Exempt Help Desk to resolve this issue. Upon contacting the the IRS Tax Exempt Help Desk and speaking with an agent, it was identified that, although the organization had received a letter of determination of tax exemption from the IRS (dated August 4, 2020), the tax exemption ruling had not been updated in the organization's record in the IRS database. Therefore, the e-filing of this Form 990 was rejected based on the fact that the organization record was not properly updated as tax exempt in the IRS database. The IRS agent advised to wait a few weeks and contact the IRS Tax Exempt Help Desk again to see if the tax exempt ruling had been updated in the organization's record in the IRS database. As of July 2021 this update has not be completed and the organization unable to complete the transmission of the Form 990 e-filing.
