Institute returns state their accounting and assurance limits

Period or event: Calendar tax years 2021–2024 · Reviewed September 12, 2026 · Record r4-institute-accounting-basis-and-limits-2021-2024

Each acquired 2021–2024 Form 990 selects accrual accounting and answers No to independent compilation or review and to an independent audit. The returns classify reported net assets as without donor restrictions, while the with-donor-restrictions line is blank. These balance-sheet categories do not disclose the terms or use of any particular campaign gift.

Scope & limitations

  • These are recipient organization accounts, not Bernie Sanders personal income. No particular incoming payment is traced into compensation or other expenses.
  • A blank cell is retained as blank, not converted into an explicit reported zero. Dates in this record identify fiscal-period ends, not payment dates.
  • An independent audit, a compilation/review and preparation of an IRS return are different activities. The No answers do not establish that financial statements were never prepared or that any filing requirement was breached.
  • Year-end net-asset categories do not identify donors, earmarks, conditional promises, restrictions satisfied during the year, or which gifts funded particular spending.
  • No receipt-level ledger, donor agreement, bank reconciliation or detailed financial-statement notes were acquired. The public index reviewed on September 12, 2026 displays 2024 as the latest tax year; no 2025 recipient return was located in that index.
