“REASONABLE CAUSE FOR LATE FILING: Taxpayer is resubmitting Form 990-EZ electronically after the initial,timely filed tax return was not accepted as filed. This was due to the taxpayer not being considered an established exempt organization return filer in the e-file database because its exempt status had been revoked. The taxpayer then filed the return on paper, but it also was not accepted as it was not filed electronically. A Form 1023-EZ was filed during this time, but was not approved by the IRS, and this information was not known to taxpayer until well after the extended due date of the 2021 Form 990-EZ. The taxpayer immediately filed Form 1023 after this information had been discovered and has had their exempt status retroactively reinstated as of May 15, 2021. Please note the taxpayer is a grassroots organization ran entirely by volunteers with no tax or financial experts advising the organization, but has retained Julia Clark and Associates CPA firm to help assure they will comply with their reporting requirements. The late filing of this return was through no willful neglect of the taxpayer, as can be evidenced by the timely filing of the initial return. Based on the above information based on reasonable cause, we respectfully ask that no late filing penaties or interest be assessed on this taxpayer.”
