The draft was distributed via email to all board members, including officers and directors, for their review and feedback. Board members were given the opportunity to ask questions or suggest revisions. The final version was approved by the board prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The organization reviews conflict disclosures annually and evaluates them as part of board governance. Any actual or potential conflicts are discussed and managed according to the written conflict of interest policy, which includes recusal procedures where applicable. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 During the tax year, the organization made its governing documents (such as bylaws), conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Requests for this information could be submitted in writing or via email to the organization's officers. In addition, basic organizational and financial information is shared at member meetings and made available to the broader public when required for compliance or transparency purposes. On behalf of Sororidad MU ALPHA PHI FLORIDA INC., I respectfully submit this Request for Abatement of Penalties associated with the late filing of Form 990 for the tax year ending October 31, 2024. Our organization was incorporated in the State of Florida in July 15, 2024 under a different name. We filed an amendment to change our corporate name on December 30, 2024; however, this change was not completed by the Florida Department of State until February 10, 2025. This delay created complications in aligning our federal and state records, which contributed to our delay in filing. Additionally, we submitted IRS Form 1024 in support of our application for 501(c)(7) tax-exempt status. This filing was accepted by the IRS on March 28, 2024 and is currently pending. During the tax year in question, the organization had no financial activity or operations, as we were still in the process of establishing proper documentation and awaiting approval of our exemption. We respectfully request that any penalties associated with the delayed filing of our 990 be abated due to reasonable cause. This is our first year of existence, and we have made every good faith effort to remain in compliance despite the administrative delays beyond our control. Please let us know if any additional documentation is needed to support this request. Thank you for your time and consideration.
