| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | As an all-volunteer organization with no professional staff, COVID-19 hit us hard, with volunteers and board members balancing volunteer obligations for ATO on top of jobs with extended hours (e.g., creating lesson plans for online teaching) on top of full-time childcare roles (i.e., daycares/schools being shutdown), leaving little time for volunteer obligations. Therefore, we were unable to complete this form until now. We attempted to file for an extension and did not realize that the form was not accepted until this week. Because we are an all-volunteer organization on a limited budget, we respectfully request abatement of penalties for this tax year. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you. |
