(The Law Library) to respectfully request an abatement of the late filing penalty associated with our Form 990-EZ for the tax year ending December 31, 2024. Our organization is a newly formed 501(c)(3) public charity under Section 509(a)(2). This was our first required tax filing since receiving tax-exempt status. Unfortunately, we were unaware of the precise filing deadline and our obligation to submit Form 990-EZ electronically. As soon as this oversight was discovered, we took immediate action to come into full compliance by preparing and submitting the necessary return. We respectfully request penalty abatement on the grounds of reasonable cause. This is our first instance of late filing and there was no willful neglect. Additionally, our organization has no history of prior noncompliance. As a small, volunteer-led organization, we are committed to full transparency and compliance going forward. We respectfully ask that the IRS exercise its administrative discretion and grant a first-time penalty abatement under the First Time Abatement (FTA) policy or reasonable cause provisions. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. Sincerely, Karim Golding Founder & President
