Stewards of the Sequoia

Form 990-EZ, Header, Line C

“In your letter of 7/14/25 your office asked us to provide a letter of explanation when we filed our return electronically. This seemed to be the only place to do so. We were not aware that we must file electronically since there was no notice on the form 990EZ that we must do so. We are now filing electronically. Your letter also stated our return was incomplete and that you listed missing information, but there was nothing listed. We called your office for several days but your automated system said you were too busy and to call another day. We finally reached a representative who explained that there were no errors in our return since there was nothing listed. Your letter also demanded you receive our completed return within 10 days of your letter to avoid penalties This is totally unreasonable since that is about the time it takes to receive your letter. Your representative stated there would be no penalties since we are filing well before the 10/15/25 due date and that the many statements about penalties and missing information should not have been included in your letter. Thank you for informing us of the need to file electronically and we hope that our return is complete and acceptable.”
