ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0My name is Randy Brown and I am the President of Veterans Casting Away Disabilities, Inc. ("the Organization"). The Organization is headquartered and operates in Dubuque, Iowa with the leadership team located throughout eastern Iowa. The Organization provides rehabilitative and therapeutic fishing events for Veterans with life changing disabilities. The organization is led and organized by volunteers and does not have any full-time staff members working for it. The organization was founded in 2018 with the assistance of an attorney, William B. Tharp, 305 N. Calhoun St, West Liberty, IA 52776, who provided the services pro-bono. I am a wheelchair-bound disabled veteran medically discharged out of the Marine Corps and serve without compensation as the President of the Veterans Casting Away Disabilities organization. The 1st Vice President and Secretary are both 100% service-connected disabled veterans as well. The treasurer is a retired nurse from the Veterans Administration Medical Center. None of the officers on our Board of Directors have any legal or accounting experience, nor does anyone receive any compensation for their service to this organization. The purpose is to provide a rehabilitative event to improve the health and mental welfare of the veterans we serve. Due to a miscommunication with the attorney, our organization's leadership was under the impression that Mr. Tharp would take care of filing any tax filings for the organization. We first became aware that the tax returns had not been filed when we received the letter from the IRS revoking our 501(c)(3) tax exemption in 2021. Upon learning of our IRS letter, one of the volunteers with our organization, Mindy Sickels Sterbenz, who is an accountant but is not a tax accountant, began assisting our organization with the tax matters. She had investigated filing the tax returns but believed that the tax returns needed to be electronically filed. Since she was not a professional tax return preparer with access to tax preparation software, our firm engaged another attorney, Mark R. Van Heukelom with Bradley & Riley PC in Cedar Rapids, Iowa who indicated he could file our returns. After approximately 12 months of not hearing from that attorney despite many attempts at seeking updates as to the status of our returns, we engaged a new attorney, Christopher A. Jones in Coralville, Iowa, in November 2022 who has advised us on the procedures for reinstating the 501(c)(3) status of the organization. In March 2023, following Attorney Jones' advice, paper copies of the tax returns were sent via USPS to the Internal Revenue Service. We received notification at the end of April that the 2020, 2021, 2022 returns were rejected as they had not been filed electronically, which was contrary to the advice given from Attorney Christopher Jones. In May 2023, our 501(c)3 status was reinstated retroactively, so we are now attempting to resolve the matter of our tax returns, and filing these electronically, per the letter from the IRS dated 4/28/2023. I respectfully submit that reasonable cause existed for the non-filing of the 990 forms for the 5 years referred to above. No member of the Organization or any of its officers has a tax, accounting or legal background until we started working with Mindy Sickels Sterbenz after our exempt status was revoked. After we received notification of the revocation, our organization tried to work with an attorney who was not timely in preparing the returns. The Organization acted promptly and appropriately to make sure the delinquent returns were filed and that an Application for Reinstatement is being filed. Ms. Sickels Sterbenz is a volunteer and our board is now aware that 990 forms need to be timely filed and will ensure that all future 990 forms are timely filed. I, Randy Brown, President, declare, under penalties of perjury, that I am authorized to sign this request for retroactive reinstatement on behalf of Veterans Casting Away Disabilities, Inc.,
