IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/FormAndLineReferenceDesc0Schedule O:
ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Our organization experienced unexpected staff turnover and significant transitions in administrative leadership During this period responsibilities for compliance and filing were disrupted which resulted in a delay in filing the 2023 and 2024 Form 990 The delay was not due to willful neglect We did not do any business until July of 2023 so I did not even realize a tax file was due until the Fall of 2024 I totally misunderstood the filing requirements I thought we only filed after 3 years of actual business operations We have since implemented stronger compliance procedures including engaging outside professionals to ensure returns are filed on time
