| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | This is the first year our revenue is over $50,000, so I filled out a paper form and sent it in early May, as I used to do when I ran a different non-profit a decade ago. I see you marked it received on May 5, 2025. I had no idea I had to submit electronically. When I received the notice of non-compliance, we sent it in again in October, thinking the problem had been with the EIN number on the form. Because I travel so much to archives to do this work for families, there is a lag time in my getting your notices. Please excuse my ignorance for this first time, it will never happen again. I now understand we have to submit electronically, and I ask for your understanding and compassion in not charging us any fees, because we did send it in originally (although in paper form) on time, sent it in again, and now this is the third submission. Each time, I acted within 24 hours of receiving your communications. Many thanks for showing us mercy. |
