ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0THE ENTITY HAS A VOLUNTEER BOARD OF DIRECTORS. PRIOR BOARD MEMBERS DID NOT REALIZE THAT TAXES HAD TO BE FILED AND HAD NOT. THE NEW BOARD TREASURER IS A SEASONED TAX PREPARER AND WORKS WITH MANY NON PROFITS AND IDENTIFIED THAT THE RETURNS HAD NOT BEEN FILED. NOTE THE INITIAL YEAR RETURN HAD TO BE PAPER FILED BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ELECTRONIC FILING OPTIONS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME IT WAS PREPARED.
