IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/FormAndLineReferenceDesc0Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16
ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0We are a small 501(c)3 which has just surpassed $50,000.00 of revenue for the first time during the fiscal year of 07/01/2022 to 06/30/2023 and this our first time filing the 990-EZ, prior to this we have only filed the 990 post-card each year and our revenue has been under $50,000. We are in good-standing with the IRS, with no history of revenue due, and have no intent to avoid filing of our form 990 and all required additional documentation. Our organization has been primarily volunteer run up until this point, and we were ignorant to the required filing date of November 15th given our fiscal year, mistakenly believing the filing due date to be May 15th as for the calendar year reporting. We have established new procedures, designated accounting staff, and established robust book keeping protocols and databases which will ensure that all following returns are submitted by the due date given the fiscal year of our organization. Thank you very much - Andrew
