| Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B | The formal accounting support staff for MASA has left the company. I have picked up the work and was unable to determine if a 990 had been filed. I searched on Guidestar and could not locate the FY2020 990. Therefore, I recreated it based on the financials that were left for me. I would like to submit this return as the most updated and amended return. |
