| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | JOIN Foundation is a newly formed nonprofit organization that received federal tax-exempt recognition during the reporting period. The organization is operated by volunteers and was in the process of establishing its administrative, accounting, and compliance systems. The late filing was due to the organization's good-faith efforts to understand and comply with federal reporting requirements during its initial year of operation. Upon becoming aware of the filing requirement and deadline, the organization promptly prepared and submitted the required return. JOIN Foundation has taken steps to improve compliance procedures and intends to file all future returns in a timely manner. |
