Form 990, Part XII, Line 1 Beginning with the 2025 tax year, the organization reports using the accrual method of accounting. Prior-year amounts presented in Schedule A have been reconstructed from the organization's financial records using the accrual method to provide a consistent five-year support calculation. The Southern Appalachian Botanical Society intended to timely file Form 8868 to extend the filing deadline for its 2025 Form 990. Due to an administrative oversight, the organization believed the extension had been submitted when it had not been successfully filed. Upon discovering the oversight, the organization promptly completed and filed its Form 990. The late filing was inadvertent and not due to willful neglect. The organization has reviewed its filing procedures to help ensure timely filing of future returns and extensions.
