Our Form 990- EZ is prepared by unpaid board member volunteers of the organization, and we have a long record of filing our annual returns on time. For the 2024 return, however, a key volunteer who normally oversees the preparation and submission of the Form 990 and extension request was on maternity leave during the filing period. Her temporary and unavoidable absence led to a miscommunication among the remaining volunteers regarding the filing. As a result, the organization did not realize that neither the extension nor the return had been filed until after the deadline had passed. This late filing was an unintentional oversight caused by the unavoidable absence of the volunteer responsible for this task. As soon as the late filing was identified, we acted promptly to complete and submit the Form 990-EZ as soon as possible. The organization is a tax-exempt nonprofit and does not owe any taxes and no financial benefit resulted from the delay. We take our compliance obligations seriously and regret this oversight. To ensure this does not occur again, we have implemented new safeguards, including creating an annual compliance calendar with key filing deadlines and creating clear delegation of filing responsibilities with backup volunteers, in case the key volunteers are unavailable. We respectfully request that the IRS consider these circumstances as reasonable cause for the late filing and we remain committed to maintaining our long-standing history of timely compliance in all future years. Thank you for your consideration.
