As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there are no known items which would result in a material accrual related to where the Organization has federal or state attributable tax positions. Generally, a taxing authority has three years to examine a tax return from the later of the filing date or extended due date. false MONARCHS & MARGARITAS 116052 116052 57093 116052 116052 57093 57093 58959 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft of the Form 990 is circulated to members of the board of directors prior to being filed.
