Accounting Reconstruction - This initial return was reconstructed from the Academy's financial records and management classifications. The Encounter Worship Center and The Encounter Worship Center Christian Academy, Inc. are separate tax-exempt organizations. Only $23,177 of identified support provided by the Church to the Academy is included as Academy revenue; no other Church financial activity is included. The Encounter Worship Center Christian Academy, Inc. was newly organized on March 18, 2024, and this was its first required annual information return. Due to a good-faith misunderstanding of the filing requirements for a separate tax-exempt organization, the Academy's financial activity was mistakenly reported with the responsible officer's individual tax filings rather than on Form 990-EZ. After discovering the error, the Academy promptly reconstructed its records, separated its activity from the related church and personal activities, prepared the required Form 990-EZ and schedules, and filed electronically. The failure to file timely was not due to willful neglect. The Academy has established procedures to ensure that future annual information returns are filed timely and respectfully requests abatement of any late-filing penalty based on reasonable cause.
