ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0our organization had a large turn over in its board members in 2023-2024 and we were operating at a loss while we continued to run a small group of programs and pay contractors and file 1099s we did not have the capacity to get our taxes filed. The executive director was working a full time job in addition to the part time work for the nonprofit. In the past the treasurer, the chair and the secretary worked together to file taxes in a timely manner. In 2024 the chair/executive director worked diligently to establish a new board and while keeping children's programs running. We did not have the funds to pay someone to prepare our taxes. In 2024 we have reestablished a new board and will be able to file our taxes in a timely manner.
