All actions are taken by the full board of directors. Line 8b is answered "No" because no such committees existed during the tax year, not because documentation of committee proceedings was lacking. Part I Line 1 Orthotalk, Inc. provides accredited continuing medical education to physicians and other clinicians in musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound and interventional orthobiologics through hands-on, live-scanning courses. Part VI Line 11b The Form 990 was prepared by the organization's Director from the organization's bank records, credit card statements, merchant processor reports, and loan servicing records. Before filing, a complete copy of the return was provided to all members of the governing body for review. Directors were given the opportunity to review the return and to raise questions or request changes prior to submission to the Internal Revenue Service. Part VI Line 19 The organization makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to the public upon written request. Financial statements are not made available to the general public. The organization's application for recognition of exemption and its annual information returns are made available for public inspection upon request as required by section 6104. Orthotalk, Inc. respectfully requests abatement of any penalty for late filing of this return on the grounds of reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The organization's tax-exempt status was automatically revoked under section 6033(j) effective May 15, 2023. In November 2024 the organization engaged Anthony | Kennedy, PLLC, a firm specializing in exempt organizations, to prepare and submit an Application for Recognition of Exemption on Form 1023. The application was submitted in March 2025. The Internal Revenue Service granted reinstatement retroactive to May 15, 2023, and the organization received the determination letter in August 2025. From the effective date of revocation until the determination was received, the organization's exempt status for this period was unsettled, and the organization was not in a position to determine the correct return to file or to report its activities accurately. The organization did not disregard its filing obligations. It acted through professional counsel to restore its status and, promptly after receiving the retroactive determination, prepared and filed this return. This return is filed voluntarily, before any contact, notice, inquiry, or examination by the Service concerning this period. The organization is a small educational charity with three volunteer directors and no paid staff, which relied on counsel throughout the reinstatement process. It has taken corrective steps to prevent recurrence, including updating its address of record with the Service and calendaring the annual return due date. For these reasons the organization respectfully requests that any penalty for late filing of this return be abated.
