ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0The Foundation, which is a public charity pursuant to Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code, was created on May 19, 2021, by filing its Articles of Incorporation with the South Carolina Secretary of State. On October 8, 2021, the Foundation received a donation of $200,000. The Foundation received no other donations or income in 2021.The Foundation failed to timely file a Form 990 for 2021 and did not file a request an extension to file this return. The officers of the Foundation mistakenly believed that the tax preparer the Foundation planned to use for its tax compliance would be filing any required returns or extensions for the Foundation. However, due to a miscommunication, no 2021 Form 990 or application for an extension was filed by the due date. When the Foundation learned that it had failed to file this return or an application for an extension, it made arrangements with the undersigned to prepare and file a Form 990 on the Foundation's behalf.In support of its request for non-assertion or abatement of penalties, the Foundation asserts that the imposition of late filing penalties in this instance would be contrary to the spirit and intent of IRS policies regarding penalties. As noted above, the Foundation is a public charity formed in 2021. As with any new organization, the Foundation has had to establish processes for its operations. Due to a miscommunication between the Foundation and a tax preparer, the Foundation failed to timely file its Form 990 for its first year of operations. If the Foundation had filed a timely application for an automatic six-month extension, the attached Form 990 would be timely filed based on the Services' decision to grant taxpayers located in South Carolina an additional automatic extension until February 15, 2023, to file returns as a result of Hurricane Ian being declared a disaster for South Carolina by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.The Foundation takes its tax reporting obligations very seriously and as soon as the Foundation realized that it had failed to file a required return and failed to file an extension, the Foundation made arrangements to have the attached return prepared and filed. The Foundation will make sure it has a process in place to ensure a Form 990 is timely filed on an annual basis going forward. Imposing penalties in this case would be inconsistent with the purpose of penalties, as explained in the IRS Penalty Handbook. As such, the failure to timely file penalty should not be assessed or if already assessed, should be abated. The Penalty Handbook states, "Penalties exist to encourage voluntary compliance by supporting the standards of behavior required by the Internal Revenue Code." IRM 20.1.1.2 (11-21-17). The IRM further provides, "Voluntary compliance is achieved when a taxpayer makes a good faith effort to meet the tax obligations defined by the Internal Revenue Code." IRM 20.1.1.2.1 (11-25-11).In the Foundation's case, imposing penalties would not enhance voluntary compliance, and imposition is not required to correct the taxpayer's behavior. The Foundation takes its reporting obligations seriously, as evidenced by its engagement of the undersigned to prepare its Form 990. Accordingly, imposing penalties in this instance would simply serve as punishment rather than encouraging future voluntary compliance. For the foregoing reasons, the Foundation respectfully request that for reasonable cause the IRS not assert any penalties for its failure to file a timely Form 990 for the 2021 tax year or abate any penalties that might have already been assessed.
