| Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B | Initial returns did not include Schedule B. The original Spring Rivers Foundation return for 2020, which consisted of Form 990-EZ and Schedule A, was mailed on 4/26/2021. After realizing and correcting an error in line 1 of the 990-EZ, an amended 2020 return was mailed on 4/28/2021. This return also consisted of Form 990-EZ and Schedule A. I received Letter/Notice dated March 15, 2022, stating that Form 990-EZ was being returned because it was incomplete. |

| Explanation | This second amended return consists of Form 990-EZ, Schedule A, and Schedule B. I did not file Schedule B in the previous returns because I mistakenly thought that Spring Rivers Foundation was not required to file Schedule B with the 990EZ form. As treasurer of Spring Rivers Foundation, which is an unpaid, volunteer position, I have been doing the tax returns for the Foundation as a way to save money that otherwise funds our Outdoor Education Program and Restoration Projects to benefit the federally and state-listed endangered Shasta crayfish. I am not an accountant, but I do try very hard to submit complete and accurate returns. I will not make this mistake again. | ExplanationTxt |
