ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0We are a volunteer-run nonprofit organization. This year, the person whose responsibility it was to file the taxes was ill for most of the month of May. Consequently, the May 15 tax deadline passed before the person could file for an extension. We have since established a back-up plan to avoid this ever happening again.
