| Part II, Line 10 | Schedule A: Part II Line 10 indicates a total of $903 of Miscellaneous income. This amount stems from checks lost in the mail which were credited back to the checking account and later reissued. |
| Part III, Line 12 | Schedule A: Part III Line 12 indicates a total of $903 of Miscellaneous income. This amount stems from checks lost in the mail which were credited back to the checking account and later reissued. |
| Part III, Sections C and D | My calculations indicate that the Maryland FFA Foundation does not meet either of the 33 1/3% tests in Schedule A, Part III. The written instructions indicate that I should then complete Schedule A, Part II but the simple990.com website does not present Part II of Schedule A for completion. In the paper copy of Schedule A, Part II, I find that we do meet the 33 1/3% test as a publicly supported foundation on Schedule A, Part II, Line 14. We have never considered the MD FFA Foundation to be a private foundation. |
| Schedule A, Part II was not offered via Simple990.com | After completing Part II, to find that we do meet the 33 1/3% public support test on Line 14, the Simple990.com website did not offer Schedule A, Part II for completion. I emailed the Simple990.com support team who indicated that I could email the completed Schedule A to them and that they would add the Part II to the complete filing to be submitted to IRS. |

| Part III, Line 4d | 1. A grant of $2500 was sent to the Frederick County FFA Chapters Leadership account. This grant is supported by our Mathwig investment/endowed account. The funds are used for county wide leadership training for 10 local high school FFA chapter officers in Frederick County, MD. Expenses noted are the investment management fees charged to this account. 2. The MD FFA Foundation, Inc. provided for the registration, travel, lodging and participation to the National FFA Organization for the International Leadership Seminar for State Officers (ILSSO) from funds individually raised funds by the participant. The expense for this activity is negligible and noted as $0 as our only cost is for the postage stamp to send a check to the National FFA Organization which we would consider a normal office expense. 3. A flow through grant of $25.00 from a donor who targeted a specific former State FFA Officer was issued per the donors request and disbursed to the donors requested individual. |

| Part XII, Line 1 | The Executive Treasurer of the Maryland FFA Foundation uses Quicken Premier on a Windows 10 based laptop computer to maintain the accounting records. While Quicken Premier uses IRS Form 1040 line numbers (Categories) rather than Form 990 line numbers in its categories of accounts. Quicken data for the required years for the Form 990 and the required schedules are exported to Microsoft Excel. The subtotals and/or totals are then coded by Form 990 line numbers as necessary to indicated calculated data needed for the Form 990 entries. CheckSUM formulas are also created manually in Excel to make certain that Form 990 balances match the Quicken Premier data balances as error checking routines.. |
| Part XII, Line 2c | The Maryland FFA Foundation Board of Trustees appoints an Audit Committee consisting typically three Board members in addition to the Chairman, Executive Director and Executive Treasurer. They verify end of year account balances and will check that a paper trail or digital trail exists for deposits made and checks written. One of these members has significant experience as a former director of a significant non-profit and has developed a very detailed process/form to follow in our auditing process. This report is then shared with the Board of Trustees at the next regular Board of Trustees Meeting. |
