      <ExplanationTxt>Our organization is run by part-time workers with a leadership transition taken place at the end of 2024. The transition of responsibilities from Todd to Candice resulted in a temporary lapse in administrative oversight. It was under Candice's impression that the accounting firm preparing the books would take care of taxes and we were unaware that the return had not been filed until we received notice from the IRS. We have since terminated the accounting firm, looking for better finance and reporting personnel and have set internal timelines to meet this more timely in the future. We respectfully request a waiver of late filing penalties under the IRS's reasonable cause provisions.</ExplanationTxt>
