ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0This return was filed via regular mail. I did not know that the return had not been accepted until I began working on my 2025 return. I have subsequently found this efiling site and am refiling this return and also refiled the 2023 return in addition to my 2025 return. I am the sole staff member and not a professional non profit person or a tax expert, but from this point forward will only use this site so that I can be sure the return is accepted by the IRS.
