IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/FormAndLineReferenceDesc0Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16
ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0After multiple telephone conversations that have been well documented with the following people and being told that my Filing and payment of Form 8976 on January 4, 2024 was adequate to obtaining our 501 (c) 4 designation, i was informed on 6/23/2025 that this was inadequate. I only was made aware something was amiss when we tried filing a 990EZ on April 16th when the filing was rejected due to our EIN/NAME not being present on the tax exempt recognition website. My communications were with the following individuals: 4/17/25: Ms. Hubbard, ID# 1003087063 5/6/25: Ms. Edwards, ID# 1000195894 5/19/25: Mr. Matthews, ID# 1001923572. At each step of the way, when inquiring as to why our EIN was not available on the IRS tax exempt website so we could finish our filing of the 990EZ, I was told either that "someone had made a mistake, someone would make a referral, or something would be resubmitted." It was only on 6/23/25 in speaking with Ms. Briggs, ID#100401125856 that I was informed that I had to submit an application, pay the $600 and that would START the formal process.
