“The reporting entity has controlled entities within the meaning of Section 512(b)(13). However, during 2016, there were no transactions of any kind with any of the controlled organizations. Based on our understanding of the IRS Instructions as well as several conversations with IRS representatives, we are allowed to file a Form 990-EZ instead of Form 990 since there were no transactions between the entities.”
