ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0The Food Cooperative is a student-run, non-hierarchical, not-for-profit store on the campus of UC San Diego. Because we are student-run and volunteer-based, this means there is a very high turnover rate among our members. In 2019, when the 990 form was due, Elizabeth Fisher, a 20 year old college student was handling our finances largely on her own. According to her, she believed that our 990 form for that fiscal year had been mailed in. In October of 2019, when we received the notice that we had late fees and unfiled returns, Elizabeth was preparing to leave the Food Cooperative, and was in the process of transferring the role to another student. Our mail has always been handled by another organization on campus, who is in charge of the mailbox and is responsible for distributing mail to several student organizations in a timely manner, including ours. However, we had issues with receiving mail from them and were given several letters over a year after they had been originally received. It is also possible that during the transition of students in charge of our finances, the letter was overlooked. After Elizabeth left in January of 2020, Christine Wenzel took over, and according to her, the issue of our 990 being late was never mentioned to her by Elizabeth. Allison Elmer and Archishma Kavalipati, the students currently in charge of our finances, took over in August of 2020, and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we did not have access to our store or our mail until October of 2020. As a result, we were not aware of this IRS notice, our accumulating late fees, or our missing return until December 2020. We immediately made changes to the way we receive our mail, and are now in charge of our own mailbox to ensure we do not miss any other pertinent information. Upon finding out about this issue, we took the steps necessary to correct this and ensure that it will not happen again. Since finding out about this issue, we have taken it very seriously. We have been in contact with the IRS multiple times to resolve other issues that prevented us from filing when we discovered the form was late. Specifically, we found that our organization had been misclassified as a "supporting organization," which prevented us from being able to properly fill out the form 990-N. As previously mentioned, we have also changed the way that we receive our mail and we are now able to receive mail directly from our mailbox. We have also hired an accountant which will allow us to ensure that all future forms are filed on time and properly. Lastly, we have created a list of all the tax forms we need to file and the days they are due to help ensure that this does not happen again. We apologize for the late filing and would like to state that it does not reflect the nature and character of our organization. We would like to ask that you please consider abating the assessed penalties for the filing period FY 2020, so that we may put those funds to better use toward the mission of our organization. The Food Cooperative serves as a valuable resource to UC San Diego students and the surrounding community. One of the main goals of The Food Cooperative is to help alleviate food insecurity for students and community members by providing low cost, healthy vegan food to the UC San Diego community.
