On 11-06-2003, the AAFKWP was created in Boston, MA and assigned the Federal ID: 55-0856690, and as well, an ID of 045126 by the Non-Profit Organizations/Public Charities Division of the Office of the Attorney General of Massachusetts. 2. On 03-17-2006, it was approved to become a 501-c-3 entity by action of the U. S. Internal Revenue Service, as specified by Lois G. Lerner, Director, Exempt Organizations Rulings and Agreements; at that time, Director Lerner notified the AAFKWP than an annual filing of Form 990 was required. 3. The AAFKWP's first filing occurred in 2007. 4. At the same time, the AAFKWP was also required to submit a Form PC-Annual Report to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Non-Profit Organization/Public Charities Division. Procedurally by practice, that paper report was required to be accompanied by the paper version of federal form 990 E-Z. Through the filings of 2022, the AAFKWP complied procedurally and successfully with both state and federal paper requirements. 5. Clearly, it had been the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Attorney General that forwarded the AAFKWP's completed 990 E-Z to the U. S. Internal Revenue Service over the years since 2007. 6. Beginning with the filing of Form PC-Annual Report for 2023, the procedure required an exclusively-based electronic filing on a special portal established by the Massachusetts Attorney General. The process did not include a procedure for the 990 E-Z. 7. I, Anthony J Bajdek, as AAFKWP President/Founder found it peculiar, and assumed that the state AG and the federal IRS had established some sort of 990 equivalency-based shared information on the considerable financial information required by Form PC-Annual Report. On June 7, 2024, the Massachusetts Attorney General forwarded a paper-based "Certificate of Solicitation" for the AAFKWP the "Certificate End Date" was 5/15/2024.
