| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | We respectfully request relief from any late filing penalties associated with the Foundation's final federal return. Due to the company's 2025 bankruptcy and associated timing constraints, additional time was needed to accurately coordinate and complete the filings. The Foundation has a consistent history of filing in good faith and maintaining compliance with all regulatory requirements. We believe the above-mentioned circumstances constitute reasonable cause and respectfully request abatement of any late filing penalties. Thank you |
