Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B
“See the attached reasonable cause explanation. Torchbearr incorporated in the State of California in October of 2021. We applied for tax-exempt status in February of 2022, and received recognition from the IRS as tax exempt in July of 2022. We utilized 990 Online, an approved tax filing service on May 16, 2022 in an initial attempt to file a 990-EZ. We received a response that same day notifying us our online filing had been rejected because our EIN could not be found. Subsequently, after consulting our bookkeeper, we mailed a hard copy of our 990-EZ to the IRS in July of 2022. In a letter dated November 29,2022 (postmarked December 01, 2022), we received a notice from the IRS stating the filing was incomplete because it was not filed online. The letter warned of possible penalties for late filing. This filing is in response to that notice.”

| ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt | 0 | This letter explains our 501(c)3 non-profit organization Torchbearr's reasonable cause for a late 990 tax filing for the 2021 tax year. Our charitable organization's EIN is 87-3096046. Torchbearr incorporated in the State of California in October of 2021. We applied for tax-exempt status in February of 2022, and received recognition from the IRS as tax exempt in July of 2022. Our income and expense in the three months of our organization's 2021 existence was zero. We utilized Form 990 Online, an approved tax filing service on May 16, 2022 in an initial attempt to file a 990-EZ. We received a response that same day notifying us our online filing had been rejected because our EIN could not be found. Subsequently, after consulting our bookkeeper, we mailed a hard copy of our 990-EZ to the IRS in July of 2022. In a letter dated November 29,2022 (Letter Number FTR2695C, postmarked December 01, 2022), we received a notice from the IRS stating the filing was incomplete because it was not filed online. The letter warned of possible penalties for late filing. For the record, our organization has made multiple attempts in good faith to file our 2021 990-EZ form in compliance with federal law, including one attempted filing online on the tax deadline that was rejected by the IRS for reasons entirely outside our control. We want to comply with legal requirements to keep our non-profit in good standing, and have attempted twice to do so unsuccessfully. Because of our many diligent efforts to file a complete return to keep our organization in good standing, we request that you waive, abate or remove any penalty that could be imposed in this case. We are a new non-profit, still learning to navigate the established processes for charitable organizations like ours. Knowing what we do now, we will strive to do better to avoid this issue moving forward by hiring a CPA and filing a complete online return for the 2022 tax year. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to your response. |
