Specifically when I filed Mixtape Dance MNs 1023 form requesting tax-exempt status as a nonprofit organization I erroneously failed to request that the organization be classified as a public charity. As a result Mixtape Dance MN was classified as a private foundation. After speaking with potential funders and reviewing the applicable regulations I realized my error. I also determined that Mixtape Dance MN has in fact been a public charity pursuant to Sections 509a1 and 170b1Avi since its inception on April 21 2022. As a result on March 11 2024 I filed a 8940 form requesting Mixtape Dance MN be reclassified as a public charity since its inception. We received confirmation that we have been reclassified as a public charity on August 7 2024 via a letter. I was instructed to wait until I received this confirmation to file my 2023 and 2024 tax returns. I contacted the IRS on May 14 2025 and was told that the reclassification had not been put on my file even though I received a letter see attached document saying the change had taken place. The IRS agent informed me that I had to wait 30 days for the change to take effect and to refile using the attached document. Due to preparations for the annual MIXTAPE performance on June 21 and 22 2025 I was unable to file right away but I am doing so now.
