The organization's director, Daniel Collins, who is also the custodian of our financial records, was previously advised by our former tax advisory firm, Duffy Kruspodin LLP, that there would be no penalties for late filing of our Form 990-EZ, as the organization had no taxable income. Relying on this professional advice, he did not prioritize the timely engagement of a new accountant to prepare and file the return. Unfortunately, during the period leading up to the filing deadline, Daniel Collins suffered a serious health setback in the form of heart failure, which required immediate hospitalization and a period of recovery. This unforeseen medical emergency further delayed our ability to file the Form 990-EZ as Mr. Collins was incapacitated and unable to manage the organization's tax affairs. Upon regaining his health, Daniel Collins promptly took action to rectify the situation. He enlisted the assistance of a family member to help expedite the preparation of the necessary financial documents. We then engaged a new accountant who worked diligently to prepare and file the Form 990-EZ as swiftly as possible. We believe that these circumstances constitute reasonable cause for the delay in filing. The organization acted in good faith, relying on professional advice, and the delay was compounded by an unexpected and serious medical emergency that was beyond our control. We have since taken corrective measures to ensure future compliance with filing deadlines, including the establishment of internal controls to prevent reliance on incorrect advice and to maintain continuity of our financial responsibilities in the event of an emergency. We respectfully request that the IRS consider these facts and abate the penalties associated with the late filing of our Form 990-EZ for 2019. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
