| Explanation | DEEN.TV has no full-time employees and depends on volunteers to operate and manage the organization. Our personnel and budgetary limitations have contributed to a lack resources available to run the company effectively, including compilation of the accounting information necessary for accurate and timely reports. This has resulted in incomplete program reports and delays in obtaining information necessary for tax returns and financial statements. Furthermore, in the past, our revenue history allowed us to file 990-N returns. In 2019 and 2018 however, we were over the $50,000 threshold amounts ($69,709 and $92,635, respectively), which required that we file a 990-EZ in 2019. In addition to the lack of full-time staff and the budgetary limitations, our 77-year-old accountant developed a chronic medical condition that deteriorated during early 2020. This required that he reduce his computer work and prevented him from preparing our financial statements in a timely fashion. | ExplanationTxt |
