ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Our Post 1944 was newly formed in 2019 when our permanent charter was granted mid-year with a small group of charter members. As the group was forming its various responsibilities and executing its community support commitments, the pandemic caused meeting restrictions in 2020. Due to health concerns the group reduced its ability to conduct business. Our Adjutant was diagnosed with a terminal condition and was in an assisted living facility until he passed away. Our Jr Vice Commander relocated and another officer was deployed by the Army overseas. This situation continued into 2021 and we had significant officer departures including our new Commander that led to missing basic deadlines for regulatory and American Legion filings. We started stabilizing the Post in early 2022, elected new officers and rewrote our constitution and bylaws. New officers took office in July 2022 and we discovered the basic paper work items that had not been completed. We set to work to obtain an EIN, execute a letter of inclusion with The American Legion national organization and started working on our tax forms that needed to cover the tax years from 2019 and forward. We lack the financial resources to hire external parties to do our tax filings so we are doing this ourselves. Our organization took corrective measures as soon as the mistakes were brought to our attention and we intend to comply with the law at all times. Our EIN is now under the blanket exemption of The American Legion we are otherwise current with all our filings with The American Legion, we have now submitted our federal tax forms and we are sending in all tax forms with the State of Illinois as well. Our Post always intended to comply with applicable regulations and we now have taken the necessary steps and actions to stay on track with timely filings.
