“The focus therapy services 2011 form 990 is being filed late. We are requesting an abatement of any penalty for the reasons and circumstances outlined below.the 2011 return was inadvertently filed after the required due date because the officers of the entity believed they had communicated with their accountant to file for an extension. The accountant filed for a personal extension for a board member but did not understand that the entity extension also needed to be filed. This error was not discovered until the return was ready to be filed. Due to the heavy workload created by hurricane irene no one thought to double checke to make sure all extensions were properly filed. The accountant has changed the status of our entity in her system so that we are extended at the same time as other corporations. We also have made our staff aware that a copy of the extension should be obtained once we indicate that one is needed.this organization is suffering from cutbacks due to the health care legislation changes and a penalty would present a significant burden given its limited and declining budget. The organization operated in good faith and we believe the facts and circumstances outlined above support an abatement of the penalty excecially given that steps have been taken to ensure that all future filings will be timely. We appreciate your consideration in this matter.”
