ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0PMP was previously permitted to file Form 990-N and although it satisfied the Form 990-EZ threshold for revenue in 2024 it was unaware of the requirement to change its form of filing and prepare the relevant information before the May 15 2024 deadline. This oversight occurred during a period of turbulence for PMP when administrative changes disrupted normal compliance procedures. Those responsible for filing have now been made aware of the distinction between Form 990-N and Form 990-EZ systems have been put in place to ensure proper compliance and PMP will consult professionals to ensure it does not happen again. While PMP is providing its Form 990-EZ for 2024 late it has supplied the information as required by the IRS and asks for the IRS to waive any associated penalties or fees.
