ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Request for Tax Return Acceptance As a small charitable organization, we've faced several challenges that regrettably led to a delay in our tax filing. We were actively seeking pro bono assistance for our tax preparation and were unaware of the specific filing deadlines. On a personal note, I also experienced a job loss and was navigating a significant family matter concerning our son's recent mental health diagnosis. I previously believed this return had been successfully submitted, and I sincerely apologize for this oversight. We kindly request your acceptance of this tax return.
