| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | This was our inaugural year filing after receiving our 501c3 registration in 2020. Given the pandemic, it took much longer than expected to make a full fiscal accounting of our expenditures- and to safely meet to discuss and approve our the fiscal year end materials. Once our paper 990EZ was finalized and complete, it took an unexpected amount of time before we were able to find an entity that could e-file our 990EZ and accompanying materials, given the new e-filing requirement. We finally were able to find an online business (Form 990 Online) that enabled our Director to manually enter the required information and supplemental materials. |
