Paper copies of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023 were provided to the IRS in May 2025 by our Leadership Team, due to the lies told by our prior tax return preparer (David Pichette, PTIN P00644907). Also, a paper copy of this return was previously filed as required by IRS Form 1024 as our Request for Retroactive Reinstatement. Although our tax-exempt status was reinstated on December 30, 2025 retroactive to November 15, 2024, we have received numersous letters from the IRS indicating that they so not have our June 30, 2024 Form 990. When spreaking with Ms. Lowell, IRS Badge #1003688553 on May 29, 2026, she recommended that we resubmit this return electronically, with this explanation included.
