The dba was registered with the Montana Secretary of States office in August 2025.| Part I, Line 16 | Explanation:| The partial year 2024 tax return filed in August 2025 contained two errors. An amended 2024 partial year return Jan-Sept 2024 will be forthcoming. That return included a change of fiscal year from calendar year to an Oct 1-Sept 30 fiscal year. Therefore this return is for FY2025 which is Oct 1 2024 - Sept 30 2025. The Part 1 Line 16 error on the short year 2024 return is as follows: the expenses for Occupancy rent utilities and maintenance were counted twice--once on Part 1 Line 14 5,841 and again on Schedule O where they were listed as Maintenance & repairs 1,020 and Rent storage & utilities 4,821 totaling 5,841. That total was included in Other expenses on Line 16 duplicating the same amount on Line 14 which negatively impacted the Net assets figure. Part II, Line 26 | Explanation:| The partial year 2024 tax return filed in August 2025 contained two errors. An amended 2024 partial year return Jan-Sept 2024 will be forthcoming. That return included a change of fiscal year from calendar year to an Oct 1-Sept 30 fiscal year. Therefore this return is for FY2025 which is Oct 1 2024 - Sept 30 2025. The Part II Column B Line 26 error on the 2024 short year return is a liability figure of 3,648 explained on Schedule O as Cks drawn on future deposits. This figure is an Accounts Payable using an Accrual approach but the 2024 short year return was submitted as a Cash Basis. If the 3,648 liability is included than related Accounts Receivable from the USFS grant should be included as well which would offset the liability. The inclusion of the liability without the receivable negatively impacts the Net assets bottom line.
