ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0WE REQUEST THAT YOU ACCEPT THE LATE FILING WITHOUT PENALTY BASED UPON THE FOLLOWING JUSTIFICATIONS FOR REASONABLE CAUSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH IRM CONSOLIDATED PENALTY HANDBOOK (20)310.1. THIS IS FIRST FILING OF FORM 990 FOR DELAWARE DESIGN-LAB HIGH SCHOOL, INC (DDLHS). THEREFORE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE LATE FILING PENALTY HAS BEEN ASSESSED AGAINST THIS TAXPAYER. 2. THE LATE FILING WAS THE RESULT OF EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS AND NOT THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR THE WILLFUL INTENT NOT TO CONFORM TO THE LAW. (DDLHS) IS A NEW ENTITY. DURING THE 2014-2015 FISCAL YEAR, BECAUSE DDLHS HAD NOT YET OBTAINED ITS 501C3 STATUS, ALL OF ITS FUNDRAISING AND ALL OTHER FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS WERE PROCESSED BY THE DELAWARE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION (DCF)FOR THE BENEFIT OF DDLHS. ALL OF THE FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS REFLECTED IN THIS 990 REPORT WERE PROCESSED BY DCF USING DDLHS ACCOUNTS FOR THE BENEFIT OF DDLHS. THE DDLHS BOARD MISTAKENLY THOUGHT THAT IT DID NOT HAVE TO FILE A 990 FOR THE 2014-2015 YEAR BECAUSE IT HAD NO FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS IN ITS ACCOUNTS. IT WAS ONLY WHEN THE DDLHS HIRED A CPA TO AUDIT ITS 2015-2016 FISCAL YEAR THAT IT LEARNED IT NEEDED TO FILE A 990 FOR ITS 2014-2015 FISCAL YEAR. THUS DDLHS LEARNED ON ITS OWN THAT A 990 MUST BE FILED AND WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY THE IRS. 3. NO PAYMENT WAS REQUIRED WITH THE RETURN. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE WAS NOT, AT ANY TIME, UNDULY HINDERED IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LAW.4. THE TAXPAYER LACKED THE REQUISITE INTENT NOT TO PAY THE TAX AND TO WILLFULLY DISREGARD THE RULES AND REGULATIONS. THE TAXPAYER ESTABLISHED THAT THEY EXERCISED ORDINARY BUSINESS CARE AND PRUDENCE AND THE PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SUPPORT REASONABLE CAUSE.BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE IRS NOT ASSESS A PENALTY FOR THE INADVERTENT LATE FILING OF THIS 2014 FORM 990 AND ACCEPT OUR EXPLANATION FOR REASONABLE CAUSE.
