“The form 990 was prepared by the organization's former treasurer, a cpa licensed in the state of michigan and experienced in the preparation of returns for 501(c)3 organizations. The starting point for the return preparation was the financial statements. Additional detail required for the return was obtained from the books and records. The return was prepared on professional software with a robust diagnostic system that catches unanswered questions, incomplete information, missing supporting forms or conflicting data between sections of the form 990. A draft copy of the return was read by the executive director. The members of the board of directors received a copy of the form 990 prior to being finalized and then approved for filing. The role of the paid preparer is to transcribe the finalized return(subject only to their software diagnostics) for electronic submission to the irs.”
