ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Better Block Hawaii misunderstood its tax obligation. The organization thought that 501(c)(3) organizations did not have to file tax returns because it had gross receipts less than $50,000. However, the organization learned that it must file with the IRS. In addition, not having filed with the IRS has been a hindrance in applying for grant funding.
