IRS returned our form unprocessed on December 15, 2025. We sincerely apologize for not filing electronically as required. At the time, a significant network outage prevented us from accessing the necessary systems. To avoid missing the annual return deadline and maintain our good standing, we submitted the form by paper as a temporary measure, never intending to disregard IRS procedures. We take our responsibilities seriously and regret any inconvenience this may have caused. Our network has since been restored, and we have implemented safeguards to ensure all future filings will be electronic and fully compliant. We respectfully request that any penalties associated with this incident be voided. Our non-compliance was unintentional, and we have always strived to meet IRS requirements. Our organization has never been late in filing annual tax returns and remains committed to compliance and transparency. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We appreciate your attention to this matter. With sincere apologies and gratitude, Elder Arnette D. Owen Lighthouse Outreach Ministries, Inc.
