Form 990, Part X, Line 14 In prior years, the organization reported internally developed curriculum and educational materials as intangible assets. During 2025, management reviewed the treatment and determined that these internally developed materials should not be reported as capitalized intangible assets. The organization removed the $150,000 balance from intangible assets as of December 31, 2025. No purchased copyrights or acquired intangible rights were held by the organization at year end. Form 990, Part XI, Line 8 The amount reported on Form 990, Part XI, line 8 represents a prior period adjustment. During 2025, the organization reviewed amounts previously reported as intangible assets related to internally developed curriculum and educational materials. Management determined that these internally developed materials should not be reported as capitalized intangible assets because they were not purchased or acquired intangible rights. The adjustment was recorded to remove the previously reported intangible asset balance and reconcile ending net assets. The return was filed late due to administrative delays in the collection and review of information necessary to ensure a complete and accurate filing. The delay was unintentional and was not the result of willful neglect. Upon becoming aware of the delay, the organization promptly completed and submitted the return and implemented additional procedures to support timely filings in the future. SEDES remains committed to transparency, accountability, and full compliance with all applicable federal reporting requirements.
