Dear IRS Representative, As the treasurer of TAUS, Inc., I am writing to respectfully request an abatement of potential penalties incurred due to the late filing of Form 990 for tax year that ended July 31, 2024. Our organization has consistently prioritized compliance and timely reporting in previous years, and we remain committed to maintaining this standard going forward. Unfortunately, I had personal challenges that impacted my ability to complete the TAUS, Inc. filing on time for this prior financial year. Additionally, I am in the process of transitioning the treasurer responsibilities to a new treasurer and have emphasized the importance of timely filings to IRS as we have done in the past to ensure that our financial operations remain well-structured and compliant. We recognize the importance of timely filings and have implemented additional oversight measures to guarantee that future filings are completed promptly. Given our organization's strong history of compliance, we kindly request consideration for penalty abatement for our current FY 2024 year late filing. We greatly appreciate your understanding and consideration in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at tausinctreasury@gmail.com. Sincerely, Soga Mbilima Outgoing TAUS, Inc. Treasurer
