In early November our club received IRS LTR 3910C dated Oct 31, 2023 informing us of an EIN discrepancy between IRS records and the submitted 990-EZ. This is evidence that we did in fact submit the return well before the 11/15/23 due date. You were correct that the EIN on our copy of the 990-EZ had a typo leaving out one digit. Mr. Thomison verbally told me, as President and Club Administrator, of this IRS letter and he told me that he submitted the correction, but we can not locate confirmation emails or printed documents to document that. XXXX. Mr. Thomison is now deceased, passing on o4/03/2024. He evidently was impacted starting last Fall by a progressing brain cancer that he did not reveal to the club. We knew he was receiving treatment for prostate cancer for almost a year, but he had done very well with those treatments. (BTW he also failed to share info about the brain cancer with his three grown children until his final two weeks.) XXXX. On 4/19/24 we received IRS Notice CP259A dated 04/15/24 that we had not filed our required annual tax return for the tax year ending 06/30/23. This surprised us as we thought we had successfully submitted our return well before the due date. Upon receiving this notice, we worked with Mr. Thomison's widow who let us recover all paper documents and let me search on his computer and three different email accounts she knew he used. But we can not locate a confirmation notice of the original 990EZ submission, nor of an amended/corrected return. XXXX. On 4/23 I called IRS Customer Service at 877-829-5500. She found no record of our response to the Oct 31 IRS Letter and no record of the original 990-EZ, nor the amended 990-EZ with the correct EIN. This return corrects the EIN.

So this return corrects the EIN and (hopefully) completes our annual return requirement.
