Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 International wire transfer fee We are a very small organization with no paid members or employees and are in the process of learning the IRS and state filing requirements. I handle financial records, state and IRS reporting. My sincere apologies for being late. I was diagnosed with a serious health issue and have been undergoing treatment for the past few months which left me quite fatigued and unable to follow a normal daily life routine, hence was unable to tend to this filing by the required deadline in May 2024 and could not file for an extension either. I respectfully request you to not assess any late filing penalties.
