The organization did not timely file an extension and acknowledges this oversight. However, the failure to file on time was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. During the filing period: The organization received a large grant that resulted in its first 990-EZ filing requirement. As a small nonprofit, the organization relies heavily on staff with limited accounting experience, and the unanticipated disruption resulted in a missed deadline for extension despite its good faith efforts to remain compliant. As soon as the oversight was identified, the organization took immediate steps to complete and submit the return. The organization has also implemented stronger internal controls to ensure this does not recur, including retaining a CPA specializing in nonprofits and assigning responsibility to specific staff. The organization is committed to fulfilling all filing requirements in a timely and accurate manner going forward. For these reasons, we respectfully request abatement of any penalties associated with this late filing. We appreciate your consideration and understanding of our circumstances.
