We respectfully requests that any late filing penalties be waived regarding the filing of Charlotte Chinese Academy 2023 tax return. I was newly elected Principal of Charlotte Chinese Academy during the tax season of the year 2023. I was in the process of getting up to speed on running the organization. The tax filing was supposed to be handled by one staff member. The staff member had been working with a tax professional, who was also our volunteer. However the tax professional was too busy to file the tax return for us. Somehow the ball got dropped off and the tax return was not filed. I did not realize it until last week when I looked up the IRS website about our organization and did not see our 2023 tax filing. We would hope that the IRS could understand that this situation was an isolated instance and allow for a reduction or waiver of penalties on this issue. We would also ask that you consider that Charlotte Chinese Academy is essentially a small non-profit volunteer organization. We operate on Sundays on a host school campus. All staff members including our teachers are all volunteers. We do not have paid employees. Tuition has been our main revenue. Any penalty would be a burden on our finances and would have a large impact on the ability of us to fund its operations. In addition, we would also request that you consider the prior filing history of the organization. The organization has a history of filing its prior tax returns on time. Therefore, we believe that this shows good evidence that we tried to file its tax returns on time and will continue to do so. Finally, as the Principal of the organization, I will make sure that any future tax filing is properly handled. We will have a system in place to make sure that any future tax returns are filed on a timely basis.Therefore, for all of the above reasons, I respectfully request a waiver of the penalties for this tax return. Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this issue.Sincerely, Yingwu Teng, Principal, Charlotte Chinese Academy
