ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Please excuse the delay in filing our form 990EZ. Due to Covid19 limitations on in-person contact we began working remotely, and are now 300 miles from where our records and archives are located. As a result the records were time-consuming to access, and this led to our filing for an extension. Then because we had not been required to file the 990 form in many years Schedule A was unfamiliar to me, leading to a last minute trip to Northern California for additional information once the filing process had begun, complicated by water damage from winter storms. The paper forms were then sent November 8, 2022, but were then mailed back to us on February 15, 2023, accounting for more than three months of the delay period. When we filed for the extension in early 2022 Form990Online invited us to file our 990's but we saw no indication that paper filings would no longer be accepted.
