ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Our organization has no paid staff, as we want to maximize the amounts we can devote to supporting education and basic needs in Uganda. Our volunteer who assists with tax filing had major inpatient surgery in 2024 and was unable to complete the filing by the due date. He did not remember to file the extension request until it was past due, but we are filing this by the day upon which the filing would have been due if an extension had been granted. Our organization has filed its returns timely in the past, and we request that the penalty not be imposed for this error.
