| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | This letter documents why Citizens for Responsible Land Use (CRLU) is resubmitting its Form 990-EZ for 2021 at this time. The primary reason is an error made by the IRS when our organization was reinstated as a tax-exempt organization on 25 March 2022 (effective 15 May 2021). At that time, the IRS failed to update its main database to reflect the organization's tax-exempt status and it was not corrected until after CRLU contacted IRS Customer Service in February 2023. This database error prevented CRLU from filing its tax information as required (by eFile) in May 2022. Instead, based on advice from a CPA, our organization mailed a paper copy of its complete Form 990-EZ on-time and awaited instructions from the IRS on how to proceed from there. We surmised that ~7 weeks from the date of our reinstatement as a tax-exempt organization (on 25 March) to the tax filing deadline (15 May) was not enough time for the IRS database to be updated. By the time the Form 990-EZ we mailed to the IRS was reviewed, we thought the IRS would recognize our tax-exempt status and either accept the paper form as-is or ask us to refile (eFile). In February 2023, CRLU was approached by a charitable organization that wanted to give us a grant, but were unable to do so because we were not listed in the IRS's Exempt Organizations Business Master File (EO BMF) and our IRS tax-exempt determination letter was more than 6 months old. We contacted IRS Customer Service and were told that an error had been made when we were reinstated. Whomever processed our reinstatement at the IRS forgot to add us to the EO BMF and that's why we were not able to file a Form 990-N online or eFile a Form 990-EZ. The customer service agent was able to correct the issue and CRLU is now in the EO BMF. We did not hear back from the IRS regarding our tax information until we received a letter on 22 March 2023. On that date, we received a letter telling us that our IRS records needed to be kept up-to-date (primarily our business address, which we have updated) and attached was a set of documents originally mailed to CRLU in early January 2023 that had been returned to the IRS as undeliverable. That set of documents included a letter informing us that our Form 990-EZ was rejected because our tax-exempt status had been revoked in 2021 and we needed to instead file a Form 1120 or Form 1041. For reasons cited above, our reinstatement in March 2022 by the IRS was not being recognized by all of the IRS in early January 2023. We tried to contact IRS Customer Support for Non-Profits the week of 22 March in response to the letter and atachments, but were unable to get through due to technical problems (the IRS was unable to accept our call). We finally made contact on 29 March 2023 and were told to re-file our Form 990-EZ for TY2021 and attach this signed "Reasonable Cause" letter. We hope you will accept this as a reasonable cause for our re-filing our Form 990-EZ without any penalties. |
