Our organization initially filed Form 990-N in good faith, believing that our total gross receipts for the year were within the $50,000 threshold. However, upon a subsequent review of our financial records, we realized that our actual gross receipts were $57,000, which exceeded the 990-N eligibility limit. As soon as we became aware of this discrepancy, we took immediate action to prepare and submit the 990-EZ to ensure compliance with IRS filing requirements. The oversight was unintentional, and we have since implemented additional internal financial reviews to prevent such errors in the future. We respectfully request that any penalties associated with this late filing be waived under reasonable cause, as our intent was to comply with all filing requirements, and the delay was due to an honest mistake rather than negligence. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
