“Once the 990 tax return is completed by the professional tax preparer, it is forwarded to the operations director and the outsourced accountant of the organization for their review. All questions are then posed to the preparer and once these questions are answered, the 990 tax return is then forwarded to the executive director for her review. Once the executive director is satisfied with the contents of the 990 tax return, it is forwarded to the board members for their review. The board is provided a period of time to ask questions that they may have. After all questions, if any are answered, the board provides approval to the executive director to execute the 990 tax return and to file it with the internal revenue service”
