Fundacion Antilles, Inc is an exempt organization under section 1101.01(2) of Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended operating under exemption Case No. SF554819584. It commenced operations on January 1, 2019 and was granted tax exemption by local authorities on 2020.

Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Grants and educational awards that were awarded at end of year but that they have not being distributed. The taxpayer a non-profit organization organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (PR) was unable to file Form 990-EZ for taxable year 2022. Prior to taxable year 2022, the taxpayer had a tax exemption under the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code. Effective January 1, 2022 the taxpayer obtained its tax exemption under Internal Revenu Code of the US. During the first trimester of 2023 the CPA firm that handled the organization's Puerto Rican tax filings informed the taxpayer that it did not have the expertise to prepare Form 990-EZ so they were forced to contact another service provider. After recruiting the new firm, the filing was invertedly kept out of the scope of the new provider's work consequently it was not filed. Ordinary business care and prudence was exercised by discussing with the new firm the need to file this return. The taxpayer understood that the 2022 had been filed and once it noticed that the return had not been filed it took the corresponding steps to complete and file the return as soon as possible. Due to this situation the taxpayer respectfully requests that any and all penalties under section 6652(c)(1) of the IRC be waived as the late filing was not due to willfull neglect of the taxpayer.
