Re:

Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Filed June 26, 2024
File No. 000-54219
Mr. Greene:
Trutankless, Inc. (the “Company”) is in receipt of the of the comment letter from staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dated October 9, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”) and provides the following response to the comment contained in the Comment Letter relating to the above-referenced filing.
In response to the following enumerated comment in the Comment Letter, we respectfully submit the following response:
Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F-1
1.
We note you only include audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Please amend your Form 10-K to include audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and ensure that audit is performed by a firm that is currently registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). Since the PCAOB revoked the registration of Gries & Associates, LLC on March 5, 2024, you are required to have your prior year financial statements reaudited by a firm that is currently registered with the PCOAB. Refer to PCAOB Rule 2100 and Rules 2-02, 2-05 and 8-02 of Regulation S-X. In addition, based on the fact your Form 10-K was filed without required audited financial statements and the fact you concluded ICFR was not effective due to several material weaknesses you identified that have not been remediated, it is not clear how management concluded DCP was effective in the Form 10-K. Please advise or revise.
Response: Since receipt of the Comment Letter, the Company has been in contact with its current independent auditor, Victor Mokuolu, CPA PLLC (the “Auditor”) to reaudit the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Financials”). The Auditor is still working through the 2022 Financials, but has been delayed because the Comment Letter came during the busy time of the third quarter where the Auditor was working on other client matters and had difficulty in shuffling extra staff to reaudit the 2022 Financials. There have also been additional delays due to the change in the Company’s management and the audit preparation team since the date the 2022 Financials were prepared so it has taken longer than anticipated to track down all supporting documentation, work papers and schedules. The Auditor has advised that they have made significant progress on the reaudit of the 2022 Financials but have informed the Company that they still need several more weeks to complete their audit. The Company and the auditor are tirelessly working to complete the reaudit of the 2022 Financials and plan to file an amended Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which will include the audited financial statements of both the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, as soon as the reaudit of the 2022 Financials is complete.

The Company acknowledges that the Company and its management are responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff of the Commission.

Dear Ms. McConnell:
Pursuant to your telephone conversation today with our securities counsel, Trutankless, Inc. (“Trutankless”) is in receipt of the comment letter dated October 9, 2024 from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Comment Letter”) and provides the following response to the comment contained in the Comment Letter relating to the above-referenced filing.

Please advise or revise.
Response: We have engaged our current auditor, Victor Mokuolu, CPA PLLC (“VMCPA”), who is currently registered with the PCAOB, to reaudit our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. We have been advised by VMCPA that the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be completed in approximately six (6) weeks. Once that audit is complete, we will file an amended Form 10-K to include those financial statements and will also update the Form 10-K to revise management’s conclusion regarding disclosure controls and procedures.
Thank you for your assistance and review.

2. Quantify the contribution of each of your products and services to your revenues. Discuss any trends or uncertainties in the sales or costs of your products and services for the periods discussed.

Revenues
In the year ended December 31, 2015 we generated $265,504 in revenues, as compared to $238,912 in revenues in the prior year. The increase in sales was attributable mostly to sales of our trutankless® products and also the sale of Vero products which Vero products were not sold in 2014. Cost of goods sold was $342,999, as compared to $440,330 in the prior year.
To the knowledge of management, the Company is unaware of any trends or uncertainties in the sales or costs of our products and services for the periods discussed.

4. We note your references to loss on debt conversion. Please expand your discussion to clarify how the amount was determined.

File No. 333-149804
Dear Mr. Alcantara: Your most recent Form 10-K includes financial statements audited by Moore and Associates Chartered (“Moore”). On A ugust 27, 2009, the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board ("PCAOB") revoked the registra tion of Moore because of violations of
PCAOB rules and auditing standards in audi ting the financial statements, PCAOB rules
and quality controls standard s, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncooperation with a Board investigation. You can find
a copy of the order at: http://www.pcaobus.org/Enforcement/Disci plinary_Proceedings /2009/08-27_Moore.pdf
As Moore is no longer registered with the PCAOB, you may not include Moore’s
audit reports or consents in your filings with the Commi ssion made on or after August 27,
2009. If Moore audited a year that you are re quired to include in your filings with the
Commission, then you should engage a firm that is registered with the PCAOB to re-
audit that year. Please amend your Item 4.01 Form 8-K, filed August 13, 2009, to disclose that
the PCAOB revoked the regist ration of Moore on August 27, 2009 because of violations
of PCAOB rules and auditing standards in auditing the financial statements, PCAOB
rules and quality controls standards, and Sec tion 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncoope ration with a Board investigation.
Mr. Carlos Alcantara
Alcantara Brands Corporation September 2, 2009 Page 2
If you are unable to obtain an Exhibit 16 letter from Moore at the time you file
your Form 8-K – or an amended Exhibit 16 letter for an amended Form 8-K – please
disclose this fact in the Form 8-K.
Once you explain Moore’s registration revoc ation in an Item 4.01 Form 8-K, you
do not need to repeat this disclo sure in your next Form 10-K.
Any amendment to Form 8-K should be file d within four business days of receipt
of this letter. Please advise us as to ho w you intend to address any re-audit requirements
no later than September 11, 2009. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 202-

statements audited by Lawrence Scharfman CPA PA (“Scharfman”). On August 11,
2009, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") revoked the registration of Scharfman because of deficienci es in the conduct of certain of its audits

As Scharfman is no longer registered with the PCAOB, you may not include its
audit reports or consents in your future filings with the Commission. If Scharfman
audited a year that you are required to incl ude in any filings made with the Commission
after August 11, 2009, you should have a firm that is registered with the PCAOB re-audit that year. In providing the information that Item 304 of Regulation S-K requires, please
disclose in your 2009 Form 10-K that the PCAOB revoked the registration of Scharfman on August 11, 2009. While this s ituation is not specifically described in the Item 304
