Attach to Form 990 or 990-EZ.
Information about Schedule O (Form 990 or 990-EZ) and its instructions is at| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Header, Line B | We noticed a few numbers looked inaccurate compared to our 2014 filing and took the steps necessary to correct them. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 3 | In 2014, MPP legalized marijuana in Alaska, legalized medical marijuana in Minnesota, and completed the signature drive to place a legalization initiative on the November 2016 ballot in Nevada. As such, the expenses for these major projects weren't prominent for MPP in 2015. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 | Anyone who donates $5 or more to MPP or the MPP PAC is considered to be a "member" of MPP for 365 days after the date of the donation. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a | "Members" of MPP are eligible to vote in the once-every-three-years election of the sole member-elected director of the board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 10b | In 2015, MPP had five affiliates -- the "Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol" in Arizona, Maine, and Massachusetts; "Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol" in Nevada; and "MPP of California". All five were simply ballot-initiative committees registered with five state governments; as such, these committees did not have an IRS tax status. All five exist for the purpose of ending marijuana prohibition in their respective states via five ballot initiatives in November 2016. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | This Form 990 was meticulously reviewed by the board's treasurer -- as well as submitted to the entire board of directors -- before it was filed with the IRS. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | MPP's documents are maintained in the organization's headquarters in the District of Columbia, and the MPP staff mails the documents to interested persons via the U.S. Postal Service. In addition, MPP posts its Form 990 on the organization's Web site, as well as third-party Web sites. Finally, MPP also posts its annual report on its Web site. |
| Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 | Of the $40,518, $7,593 of this is from the depreciation of computers and other office equipment, the remaining 32,925 just the typical small "fudge factor" that must be interested here, so that all the numbers add up correctly. |
