As a small volunteer-run nonprofit the cash method is simpler and more consistent with how the organization tracks revenue and expenses internally.| Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Advertising and marketing, $207.00| Bank charges and fees, $20.00| Merchant account fees, $935.00| Office Supplies and software, $1231.00| Taxes and licenses, $100.00| To Whom It May Concern: I serve as treasurer of our organization and I respectfully request abatement of any penalties associated with our late filing of Form 990 for tax year 2022 and 2023. Our organization was granted 501c6 status on July 22 2022. As a newly exempt volunteer-run nonprofit we misunderstood the filing obligations for newly recognized non-profit organizations. We also incorrectly believed filing was based on our net income not gross receipts. Once we became aware of the error we acted promptly to prepare and file the required returns for 2022 and 2023. We also proactively filed our 2024 return early to demonstrate our commitment to compliance. This was an honest mistake made in good faith and not the result of willful neglect. We have implemented internal procedures to ensure timely filings going forward. We respectfully ask the IRS to waive any penalties under the reasonable cause exception.
