THE CPA FIRM, GOFF BACKA ALFERA & COMPANY, WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BEFORE THE DUE DATE OF THE TAX RETURNS. THE DELAY WAS DUE TO THE FIRM AND NOT THE ORGANIZATION. THE FIRM HAD VARIOUS SCHEDULING AND STAFFING MATTERS THAT PREVENTED THEM FROM TIMELY COMPLETING THE AUDIT. THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDED ALL ITEMS TO COMPLETE THE AUDIT AND THE TAX RETURN TIMELY, HOWEVER, THE INFORMATION TO PREPARE THE RETURN WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL THE AUDIT WAS COMPLETE. IF THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY AS REASONABLE CAUSE, PLEASE WAIVE ANY PENALTIES BASED ON THE FIRST TIME ABATEMENT RULES.
