ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0PMP was previously permitted to file Form 990-N and although it satisfied the Form 990-EZ threshold for revenue in 2023 it was unaware of the requirement to change its form of filing. 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. PMP is amending its returns to provide the required information in full compliance with IRS requirements and asks for the IRS to waive any associated penalties or fees
