| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | THE ORGANIZATION IS RESPECTFULLY ASKING FOR THE ABATEMENT OF ANY ASSESSED LATE FILING PENALTIES AND ANY RELATED INTEREST DUE TO SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. AUSTIN BAT REFUGE IS A SMALL ORGANIZATION WITH MAINLY VOLUNTEER BOARD MEMBERS. BETWEEN 2022 THROUGH 2023, FOUR OF THE SEVEN BOARD MEMBERS MOVED OUT OF STATE, WHICH INCLUDED THE ORGANIZATION'S VOLUNTEER ACCOUNTANT (A CERTIFIED NON-PROFIT ACCOUNTING PROFESSIONAL, CNAP). THE VOLUNTEER BOARD ACCOUNTANT HAD BEEN FILING ALL NECESSARY TAX FORMS FOR THE ORGANIZATION FOR MANY YEARS, INCLUDING THE FILING OF THE ORGANIZATION'S FORM 990S. HOWEVER, THE REMAINING THREE BOARD MEMBERS (INCLUDING THE TWO FOUNDERS OF THE ORGANIZATION), LATER BECAME AWARE THAT THE 2023 FORM 990 HAD NOT BEEN TIMELY PREPARED AND FILED AND DETERMINED THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO SOME EXTENUATING PERSONAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT THE VOLUNTEER ACCOUNTANT WAS EXPERIENCING AT THE TIME.THE ORGANIZATION'S FOUNDING MEMBERS HAD RECENTLY REACHED OUT TO THE VOLUNTEER ACCOUNTANT AGAIN IN JANUARY 2026 AND THE 2023 FORM 990 WAS ABLE TO GET FILED DURING THAT MONTH. IN EARLY FEBRUARY 2026, THE ORGANIZATION RECEIVED AN IRS NOTICE INQUIRING ABOUT THE FILING STATUS OF THE 2024 FORM 990. THE REMAINING BOARD MEMBERS AGAIN REACHED OUT TO THE VOLUNTEER ACCOUNTANT SEVERAL TIMES DURING FEBRUARY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECENT TAX PENALTY AND FILING NOTICES AND THE ACCOUNTANT RESPONDED BY PROVIDING A RESIGNATION FROM HER POSITION WITH THE ORGANIZATION. THE REMAINING BOARD MEMBERS THEN TOOK IMMEDIATE STEPS TO REACH OUT TO A LOCAL CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM TO PROMPTLY PREPARE AND FILE THE 2024 FORM 990. BASED ON THE ABOVE CIRCUMSTANCES, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST FOR THE ABATEMENT OF THE ASSESSED PENALTIES & ANY RELATED INTEREST FOR THE 2024 FORM 990 BASED ON REASONABLE CAUSE. |
