ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0WE HAD TO MAIL THE 2020 FORM 990S TO IRS BECAUSE WHEN WE TRIED TO E-FILE, THEY WERE REJECTED DUE TO "DATABASE VALIDATION ERROR: /RETURN/RETURNDATA/IRS990/ORGANIZATION501CIND: TAX-EXEMPT STATUS SPECIFIED IN ITEM I, MUST MATCH DATA IN THE EFILE DATABASE". THE PAPER-FILED FORM 990S WERE RETURNED TO US BY IRS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT FILED ELECTRONICALLY. IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH IRS SO WE COULD FINALLY E-FILE. WE HAD A REASONABLE CAUSE THEREFORE PLEASE DO NOT ASSESS ANY LATE FILING PENALTY.
