The delay was primarily due to unforeseen administrative challenges related to the hiring and performance of our previous accountant. In early 2022, our organization decided to outsource our accounting and tax filing responsibilities to a third-party accountant who came highly recommended. The accountant was entrusted with all financial reporting duties, including the timely filing of our Form 990 for the 2022 tax year. Unfortunately, despite our good-faith efforts in engaging a qualified professional, it became evident that the accountant failed to file Form 990 for 2022 by the due date. This issue only came to our attention in early 2023, when we were conducting an internal audit and discovered that the required filings had not been completed. Upon further investigation, we learned that the accountant had not only missed the 2022 filing deadline but was also significantly behind in preparing Form 990 for 2023. We immediately terminated the accountant's services and began the search for a new, reliable accounting firm to rectify the situation. During the transition to our new accounting team, we encountered additional delays as the new accountants had to review and correct the financial records from the previous years to ensure accuracy. This process took longer than anticipated, further delaying the submission of the 2023 Form 990. We deeply regret these administrative challenges and have since taken steps to ensure that such an oversight does not happen again. We have implemented stricter oversight procedures, including regular progress checks on all filings, and have engaged a reputable accounting firm with a proven track record of timely and accurate tax filings for nonprofit organizations. We respectfully request that the IRS consider this explanation as reasonable cause for the late filing of our 990 forms and waive any penalties associated with the delay. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
