Throughout 2023 we were in the process to become a vendor with California Department of Rehabilitation to provide support services for intellectuals with developmental disabilities. Although this is typically a lengthy process, we were anticipating it would not take more than 1 year. The applications are still processing as of 10/25/24. In 2023 no revenue was received and there was no activity for the organization. I contacted the IRS charitable organizations help line in May 2024 in an attempt to file the 990-N since our organization was eligible based on no revenue for 2023. I was told my file would be updated to allow me to submit online. They told me it would take 6 - 12 weeks to update online. I was also informed there would be no penalty for filing a few months late and that the only penalty is 501C3 status would be revoked if a return wasn't filed for 3 years in a row. I checked many times on the IRS website but was unable to file the 990-N for an unknown technical error the system said I wasn't eligible. I called the IRS again to find out what the status was and was unable to get a direct answer. Finally I just decided to file on my own. This is our first year in operation and we had no revenue to report.
