| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Dear Sir/Madam: I am writing to request an abatement of any penalties or any late filing fees that may be assessed for the late filing of the calendar 2020, tax Form 990 EZ, due on May 16, 2021. I acknowledge and sincerely apologize for the late filing of our Chapter's tax Form 990 EZ. The Sigma Chi Epsilon Chapter is a tax-exempt organization operating under Internal Revenue Code Section 501c7. The Epsilon Chapter is a college fraternity supported by dues paying members in order to provide an opportunity for members to commingle, engage in personal contact, and pursue common goals and aspirations. Personally, I am the Treasurer for the fraternity and I am responsible for the ultimate filing of the tax Form 990 EZ. The governance responsibilities of a college fraternity are extremely fluid due to officers being in transition annually due to graduation from school. This coupled with the school and fraternity challenges resulting from the Covid pandemic, I believe primarily lead to the inadvertent late filing oversight on Epsilon's part. I took corrective action (completion/filing the tax return) as soon as I became aware of the 990 filing requirements. Unfortunately, such corrective action was also protracted due to the fact that our Chapter has to familiarize itself with the detailed Form 990 informational filing requirements, aligning our historic financial information with the 990 requirements, along with an associated search for Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) for tax return preparation/assistance. Going forward Epsilon intends to comply with all Form 990 filing requirements. To that end, Epsilon has already begun the process for completion of the outstanding calendar 2021 tax return with the goal of filing in the near future. In addition, I have designed procedures to ensure that future officer transition will include the Form 990 filing requirements and associated completion procedures. Again, I sincerely apologize and hope that you will consider the abatement of penalties or any late filing fees owed for reasonable cause. I am willing to provide any clarifications that you may require. Please free to contact me at 818-564-9615. Sincerely, Ben Reznick, Treasurer, Sigma Chi Epsilon Chapter. |
