Part XII Part XII Line 2 In 2023, The Essex Avenue Foundation (the "Foundation") discovered that on its Forms 990-PF for taxable years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 Parts IX and X were not recorded properly. The Foundation would not have been subject to an underdistribution penalty under 4942 for the years 2021 and 2022 if the average value of the assets had been properly recorded in Part IX. Therefore, the Foundation has chosen not to amend Forms 990-PF for taxable years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. Instead, the Foundation has adjusted the amount reported in Part XII of Form 990-PF for year ending December 31, 2023 to reflect the correct balance.
