Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Other expenses include bank service charges and wiring fees, Zoom online meeting expenses, office supplies and organizational expenses. I was in Montana for much of the summer dealing with the death of my brother, making arrangements for his burial as well as the burial of my parents ashes, and assessing flood damage to our family cabin (all in Montana). While I was gone the letter arrived from the IRS (saying that our mailed 990 form needed to be submitted electronically, as well as being incomplete) arrived. Upon my return I mistakenly placed the letter in a pile of items to be filed instead of in my 'inbox' to be completed file. I just came across the letter today and am SO sorry it wasn't done until now! I am obviously still learning about running this non-profit organization and am sorry that this report was not done correctly and on time. I understand the importance of completing all required government forms and reports and have been successful doing so up until now. Our organization is obviously small with virtually no operating budget - the operating expenses are paid/donated by myself. I will be careful not to be late filing this report again and have created a system to handle important mail in my absence in the future. Thank you for your consideration.
