This all happened against the backdrop of the Covid epidemic. Being elderly and on immune suppressing medication my situation was stressful and dangerous. I dropped the ball on this but am a bit better now and have gone back and updated all the necessary years from our books and records. Topanga Animal Rescue does great work and has been recognized for its operations by the State Parks of CA The National Park Service the County of Los Angeles. as well as local Fire and Police departments. In 2020 we received grants from the Annenberg Foundation and LISC to help with the local stresses created by the COVID Epidemic. Not knowing whether the LISC grant would be approved we applied for and received a non forgivable EIDL loan from the SBA for $18,300. It arrived in December of 2020. We believed this loan was not to be reported as actual gross funds in that it had to be repaid. We are now declaring it as such. This pushed our three year average over the $50K and with other Grants we have remained over the $50K mark if only modestly thus we must amend our returns. We are using Tax990 to upload all the years at the same time. Please advise us if there are any penalties and we will pay them promptly.

Misc 664, $62815| As I stated under the explanation for amending the filing I am the CFO and it was my responsibility to be on top of the tax situation. I have been quite ill over the past five years and with the advent of Covid things became much worse and I dropped the ball. I am elderly in my seventies and I am on immune suppressing drugs making Covid a very dangerous time for me.I had covid 2 times. In addition my parents both in their 90s were gravely ill and I had to look after them covid not withstanding. They passed with 8 month of each other and it was on me to handle their affairs.. Topanga Animal Rescue remained very present and busy throughout Covid even expanding our reach and being more present with the homeless and seniors. Susan Clark is the field leader organizing the volunteers and directing operations. She did an amazing job as a front line volunteer! In the midst of this we received some Grants which I believed brought us close to but not over the 50K average I should have realized that we certainly were and done the math but somehow in my own trips back and forth to the hospital ,then heart surgery and handling my folks paper work I failed to update our protocols and believed I was keeping us accurately present with the 990N. Recently we heard from the State of CA and that made me aware of our issue. I am updating our California returns as well.
