IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/FormAndLineReferenceDesc0Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16
ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Previous accountant completed the return but we recently found out he did not submit it. We were eligible for the Form 990-N ePostcard, but he did not file it. Now it is too late to file the ePostcard, so we hired someone else to complete the Form 990-EZ and submit it. We understand that it was due by May 15 annually and will be filing on time in the future. Please do not assess a penalty for this late return. We have no accountant or bookkeeper on the board, so this is a service we must contract professionals to complete. We paid for the accounting service and thought the return had been submitted.
