ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0The organization was formed in September of 2024 and did not receive its Determination Letter from the IRS until May of 2025. The paid tax preparer was not aware of this new organization's 2024 990-EZ filing requirement, for the initial short tax year ending 12/31/2024, until after the May 15, 2025 extension deadline, so a timely extension for Form 990-EZ was not filed. The organization exercised ordinary business care and prudence and was nevertheless unable to file the return within the prescribed time. The organization has not previously filed late and has had discussions with its paid preparer about steps it can take to ensure that subsequent returns are timely filed. The organization respectfully requests abatement from late filing penalties due to the reasonable causes explained above.
TransferPrsnlBnftContractsDecl/DeclarationDesc0The organization did not, during the year, receive any funds, directly,or indirectly, to pay premiums on a personal benefit contract.The organization, did not, during the year, pay any premiums, directly,or indirectly, on a personal benefit contract.
