Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 balance adjustment Our return is a few weeks late this year as we had to seek detailed and complicated information as to how our organization is to report the funds we received from our ERTC awards. The funds were split into both the ERTC funds as well as interest that the IRS paid our organization. We received numerous erroneous pieces of accounting advice regarding these funds and have reported them correctly on our return. This has never happened to our organization before as all of our funds have always come directly from operation of Launch Academy.
