The person I spoke to mentioned to include the reason when we filed electronically. We mistakenly mailed the completed forms not aware being a first time 990 EZ filer, it had to be sent electronically. They were mailed on time. The forms were stamped as received by the Ogden, Utah facility on 11/19/2024. Our organization has a mailbox in the Independence High School mailroom. A member of our athletic booster organization checks the mailroom each week for mail. In early February in our mailbox was our returned tax forms, with a letter saying a 990 EZ is not accepted in paper form. It was then I contacted and spoke to an IRS representative explaining the situation. It appears the return was lost with in our school and coupled by winter break led to us not receiving the return until the February. We immediately reached out to CBIZ which is headquartered in our city and recommended by our mayor's office as a company to reach out to for help. After multiple times of not receiving return calls, we finally received a call back and supplied them our information. The correspondence we had with CBIZ, they did not mention a fee and then sprung a $1,500 cost to file what we already had mailed to the IRS back in November. Doing research, we found Form 990 on the IRS Website. We became a tax except organization in 2022 and this was the first time we had to file a 990 EZ. Moving forward we know it has to be e-filed and will be on time in the future.
