| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | EXTENSION WAS TIMELY FILED BY 10/17/22 BUT E-FILE WAS REJECTED. PROBLEM WITH REJECTION OF E-FILE HAS BEEN CHRONIC AND IS STILL UNRESOLVED. E-FILE HAS BEEN REJECTED SINCE INCEPTION AND FIRST E-FILING OF THE CORPORATION, WHICH WAS THE RETURN FOR 6/1/2015 - 5/31/2016, FORM 990-EZ. THIS RETURN AND ALL OTHER RETURNS SINCE THEN HAVE BEEN PAPER-FILED BECAUSE THE E-FILE WAS ALWAYS REJECTED. FURTHER, WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM THROUGH MANY TELEPHONE CALLS TO THE IRS, EVER SINCE THE YEAR 2016, BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR WHAT WE CAN DO TO RESOLVE IT. WE ARE ASKING AT THIS TIME THAT THE IRS PLEASE CONTACT THE PRESIDENT OF THE CORPORATION, MS. DE AMA BATTLE, AT THE ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS, AND TELEPHONE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THIS FORM 990-EZ AND PLEASE TRY TO HELP HER TO RESOLVE THE E-FILE PROBLEM SO THAT SHE CAN E-FILE HER CURRENT TAX RETURN AND ALL TAX RETURNS FOR THIS NON-PROFIT GOING FORWARD. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT WE HAVE ALSO TRIED TO E-FILE THE POSTCARD RETURN, FORM 990-N, BUT THESE RETURNS HAVE ALSO BEEN REJECTED EVERY TIME. WE ARE FILING FORM 990-EZ WITH THIS RETURN BECAUSE IT SHOWS IN DETAIL THE STATUS OF THE CORPORATION AND IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL PRIOR TAX RETURNS SINCE THE RETURN FOR 2015 THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO DATE. WE ARE ALSO ASKING THAT ANY AND ALL PENALTIES FOR LATE-FILING OF THIS TAX RETURN BE ABATED. THANK YOU. |
