ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0To Whom It May Concern: On behalf of the Association of South-Asian A Cappella, I am writing to request abatement of late filing penalties associated with our Form 990-EZ for the tax year ending 2024. Our return was due on May 15, 2025, but was filed on September 29, 2025. The return was filed late because I, who normally handled the tax filings, had previously filed returns but temporarily stepped down from organizational responsibilities for personal reasons outside of the organization. During this time, no other board member assumed responsibility for the filing. Upon resuming my role, I discovered the oversight and immediately prepared and submitted the return. To prevent any future delays, the organization has adopted the following corrective measures: (1) We will implement formal accounting software to improve recordkeeping and filing accuracy. (2) We have established a compliance calendar and assigned backup responsibility among board members to ensure filing deadlines are met. These steps reflect our good faith effort to comply with IRS requirements. We respectfully request that the IRS consider this situation as "reasonable cause" under IRC Section 6652(c)(3) and abate the penalties. As a small, volunteer-run nonprofit, relief from penalties will allow us to devote more of our limited resources to our exempt purpose of supporting South Asian a cappella competitions and the growth of this niche art form. Thank you for your consideration.
