THE TAX PREPARER INITIALLY HAD THEM ON THEIR BALANCE SHEET, BUT REMOVED THEM. THE BNAME WASWORONG AND DID NOT REORD THE INVETMENTS VARIATION EACH YEAR. THE ANNUITIES WERE PURCHASED IN 2017 AND THE MORGAN STNALEY ACCOUNT WAS OPENED WHEN LAND WAS SOLD IN 2022 AND NOT RECORDED BY TAX PREPARER THE VFW USED THE SAME TAXX PREPARER FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 YEARS. THEY WER HANDED A COPY OF THEIR 2022 990, SIGNED FOR IT AND THOUGHT THAT SSHE HAD FILED HER RETURN. SHE WAS A OAID PREPARER NAMED STAR LINEHAN AND HER FIRM WAS THE TAX LADY LOCATED IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA. SHE DID NOT FILE THE RETURN AND WE WERE NOT AWARE UNTIL I STARTED WORKING WITH THE VFW IN 2025. THE TAX LADY HAD PROMISED TO FILE THEIR 2024 BEFORE SHE RETIRED AND 2024 990 WAS NOT FILED AND SHE DIDN'T FILE AN EXTENSION. WE HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SHE WORKED WITH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR 990'S AND OTHER TAXES DUE TO THE STATE. THE VFW CANNOT TALK WITH HER OR HAVE THIS FIXED BY HER AS SHE PASSED AWAY SHORTLY AFTER RETIRING IN JANUARY 2025. THE VFW HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE IN THIS SITUATION AND DID NOT KNOW SHE HAD NOT FILED HER RETURN AS SHE GAVE THEM A COPY.
