Part I, Line 20 An accounting discrepancy from a prior year was discovered while preparing the 2023 return. To correct this, a positive adjustment of $1,408 was made to properly reflect the organization's financial position. This adjustment ensures accurate reporting and aligns with reconciled financial records now maintained under improved bookkeeping procedures. The organizations tax-exempt status had been automatically revoked prior to filing, and our 990-EZ return for 2023 could not be accepted until reinstatement was granted. We submitted our reinstatement application and Form 1023 in 2025 and were granted retroactive reinstatement. Once our exempt status was restored, we promptly filed the required Form 990-EZ for 2023. The organization is now in full compliance and has implemented procedures to ensure timely filings moving forward.
