ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0This return is for the organization's first fiscal year, 2018. While the organization was incorporated and started in 2018, there was no financial activity during the year. The organization had been previously advised that a 990 return would not be required for 2018 due to the lack of financial activity. Until recently, the organization had been unaware that a 990 filing would be required for that fiscal year.
