ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Executive Director and Board President changed relationship during the time that the tax filing for 2015 would have been due in the summer of 2016. The Executive Director moved off the farm and shifted her professional work towards town and eventually moved the work of the Organization with her. New Board Members were added later in 2016 and the work was resumed but the responsibility for filing the 2015 return was forgotten and mismanaged during the transition. The Executive Director takes responsibility for this error and because we have consistently been under the $50,000 gross receipts threshold for filing the 990-N return hope that the IRS will accept this late 990-EZ for 2015 and continue to hold our organization in good standing.
