DEAR REPRESENTATIVE, I AM WRITING AS THE CPA WHO PREPARED FORM 990 FOR THE ABOVE-REFERENCED NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR CONSIDERATION IN ABATING THE LATE FILING PENALTY THAT WAS ASSESSED.THE TAXPAYER PROVIDED ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION TO ME IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND I COMPLETED THE RETURN WELL BEFORE THE DUE DATE. UNFORTUNATELY, I FAILED TO REMIND THE ORGANIZATION TO RETURN THE SIGNED FORM 8879 AUTHORIZING ME TO E-FILE THE RETURN. THIS OVERSIGHT WAS NOT DUE TO NEGLECT OR DISREGARD OF MY RESPONSIBILITIES BUT RATHER THE RESULT OF AN UNEXPECTED AND DEEPLY PERSONAL HARDSHIP.IN JULY 2025, MY FATHER'S CANCER TREATMENT STOPPED WORKING, AND HIS CONDITION DECLINED RAPIDLY. I WAS HIS PRIMARY CAREGIVER WHILE CONTINUING TO MANAGE MY CLIENT WORK. SADLY, MY FATHER PASSED AWAY ON AUGUST 8, 2025JUST ONE WEEK BEFORE THE RETURN'S DUE DATE. DURING THAT TIME, I TOOK LEAVE TO CARE FOR HIM, HANDLE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS, AND GRIEVE HIS LOSS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FILING DEADLINE OF AUGUST 15, 2025, FELL SQUARELY WITHIN THIS PERIOD, AND I MISSED IT.THIS ORGANIZATION'S FORM 990 WAS THE ONLY RETURN I HAD DUE AT THAT TIME, AS IT OPERATES ON A MARCH 31 FISCAL YEAR-END. I HAD PUT MEASURES IN PLACE TO ENSURE TIMELY FILING AFTER A PREVIOUS DELAY, BUT THIS UNFORESEEN PERSONAL TRAGEDY DISRUPTED MY ABILITY TO MEET THAT GOAL.I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DELAY AND SINCERELY REGRET ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS HAS CAUSED. THE NONPROFIT PROVIDED EVERYTHING ON TIME, AND I AM SOLELY AT FAULT FOR THE LATE SUBMISSION. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND REQUEST THAT THE PENALTY BE ABATED BASED ON REASONABLE CAUSE. DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING MY FATHER'S DEATH CERTIFICATE, IS ENCLOSED FOR YOUR REVIEW.THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPASSION AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CONSIDER THIS REQUEST
