In all preceding years a Form 990-N has been filed. But, this year the gross receipts were larger than $50,000. This tax year is also the first time that I, as Treasurer, was asked to file a tax return for Sustainable Marblehead. In all preceding years the tax filing was done by a bookkeeper, who is no longer employed by the organization. The need to file this tax return was brought to my attention only recently, during November, and to my surprise. I am not a tax accountant, but a semi-retired businessman. Having been asked to prepare this tax filing, it took longer than I anticipated since it was my first time filing it for Sustainable Marblehead. Lastly, I am heavily involved with three Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts units in Marblehead, which have their annual Christmas tree and Christmas wreath sales during the months of November and December. So, my available time has been very limited. Now that I understand the time deadline to file this tax return is November 15th, based on Sustainable Marblehead's June 30th year-end, I will prepare and file the tax return on time in future years so long as I am the Treasurer. For all these reasons, I believe there is reasonable cause for this late filing, which will not occur again.
