Question

Form 990-PF, Part XIV Line 3(a)

(I thought I posted earlier in the week, but did something in correct.)

The continuation schedule for Grants paid has 'wonky' columns (i.e. 'Rela', 'tion' ,'ship', 'foun', 'da', 'tion',  etc.) I believe this is because this year they added a drop box for the foundation status of recipient but because there are three lines each for the relationship, status and purpose, the software is treating each line as a separate column.  Hopefully this 'suggestion' is fixed, as I spent over an hour earlier this week on this issue.  Since this is ultimately not only seen by IRS but will be publicly available, I may need to paper-file instead of e-filing.

(Also, on one particular 990-PF, I got a separate continuation schedule for grants, which is a duplicate of what is listed elsewhere.  While it looks better than the above, i don't need two lists.  (This duplicate schedule also says at the top 'Part XV...' but should be 'Part XIV'.)

For efiling it probably doesn't matter. I might edit a pdf of the client and public inspection copies.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Hi, thanks for your response.  The problem is that IRS and websites like Guidestar post the IRS e-filed form.  This small foundation doesn't have its own website, so there's nowhere to post a corrected copy.
