Management evaluated the Organization's tax positions and concluded that the Organization had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. Forms 990 and 990-T filed by the Organization are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) up to three years from the extended due date of each return. The Organization is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for fiscal years before 2019.

THE AUDIT IS REVIEWED AND ACCEPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE RETURN IS REVIEWD BY THE EXECUTIVE TEAM PRIOR TO THE FINANCE DIRECTOR AND SUBMITTING THE RETURN. A COMPLETE COPY OF THE RETURN WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT THE NEXT BOARD MEETING AS PART OF THE FINANCE DIRECTORS REPORT. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST BY CONTACTING OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER. REQUESTS CAN BE SENT TO FHATA@FHATA.ORG AND MUST BE IN WRITING. The Agency made an administrative error at the time the return was due in May 2023. An attempt to electronically file was made but staff did not go back and verify completion. The return is being filed as soon it was discovered as we are preparing to file the current return for 2022 which is due in May 2024 (after successfully filing an extension in November). Staff will attend a webinar and training on completing the Form 990 and have established tools in their calendar to ensure timely filing of returns in the future. The Agency has successfully filed previous years tax returns and this return has not resulted in taxes due, therefore there are no late tax payments associated with the late return. We are requesting abatement under the IRS's First time Penalty Abatement Policy
