My comments and questions. They did file two extensions. On their website, they said they would file on the same deadline all non-profits have which is Nov 15. I disagreed, said the deadline was May 15, unless you file for an extension and was banned. Now they say this years taxes will be filed by the deadline on May 15. 1) Why is the box labeled "Ammended Return" marked? If it's an ammended return, WHY? Where is the original? What was changed between the two? 2) They show a net profit of $ -31,174.00, how can they say they were not in the red at that time? 3) Part VI, 82a says they did not receive any donated services. I believe that one was answered incorrectly. The audit shows 12+ grand for equipment, which really isn't much when you know what this stuff costs. I remember seeing the photos of all the equipment Simcox posted. I also remember him saying most of it was donated. They also used volunteers. Are volunteers paid or are they donating their services? 4) The 990 reads... Issue advocacy on immigration issues and the organization conducts U.S. Border watch and construction of border fence. Why they would mention the fence on the 05 990 when the idea wasn't until 06. 5) The Audit posted is incomplete. The notes have not been posted. They show how the finances are handled and other important information. Why, if they wanted to put everything out there, did they not include the notes? I will continue to post these questions, unless of course they get answered. MCDC Financials. My comments and questions.
