| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Parks Foundation of Broward County, Inc. is a small charitable organization governed by an all-volunteer board of directors and has no paid administrative staff. Responsibility for financial reporting and tax compliance is handled by volunteer officers in addition to their regular professional obligations. In prior years the organization routinely requested and received an automatic filing extension before submitting its Form 990-EZ. During the current filing year, due to a misunderstanding regarding the division of administrative responsibilities among volunteer officers, the Treasurer believed that the extension request had been submitted as in prior years. The organization later discovered that the extension had not been filed and that the return was therefore past the due date. Upon discovering the oversight, the organization promptly prepared and submitted the required return. The organization has implemented internal procedures to ensure that future filings and extensions are calendared and confirmed by the Treasurer prior to the filing deadline. The organization respectfully requests that any penalties associated with the late filing be abated as the delay was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. |
