ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0It was previously my understanding that our organization would qualify to submit Form 990-N for our filing and saw that there was no late filing fee for those organizations. I then had a baby on May 15, 2022, took a two month paternity leave of absence, and returned to this matter this week. Upon reviewing the requirements for Form 990-N, I decided it was best to file the 990-EZ instead and prepared our return as expediently as possible.
