ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Zero Theater, Inc. is a newly established nonprofit organization founded in late 2023 and obtained 501(c)(3) status later that year. As a new volunteer run organization, we were unfamiliar with the annual Form 990-EZ filing requirements and did not realize that our first filing was due by the 15th day of the 5th month after the fiscal year end. Once we became aware of the requirement, we promptly completed and submitted the return. The late filing was not due to willful neglect, but rather to inexperience and limited administrative capacity during our first operational year. We have since established internal procedures to ensure timely compliance in the future, including assigning a designated treasurer to manage compliance deadlines and using the IRS online calendar reminder system. We respectfully request that any late filing penalties be abated for reasonable cause under IRS guidelines for first time nonprofit filers.
