Kaleidoscope Learning N 1726 Monarch Montessori School and Kaleidoscope Learning share certain administrative and communication resources. Costs associated with wireless internet and telephone services are allocated equally between the organizations and Kaleidoscope reimburses Monarch for its share of these expenses. Kaleidoscope Learning O 75193 Monarch Montessori School and Kaleidoscope Learning share certain personnel resources. Kaleidoscope reimburses Monarch for employee time spent performing services for Kaleidoscope. Reimbursements are calculated based on the employees hourly wage or salary equivalent employer-paid payroll taxes and an allocated share of employee benefits proportional to the employees time dedicated to Kaleidoscope operations. Kaleidoscope Learning Q 75477 Kaleidoscope Learning reimburses Monarch Montessori School for shared expenses through a monthly invoicing process. Payments are due within 30 days of invoice issuance. Consequently amounts reported as expenses incurred and reimbursements received may not be identical at year-end because some invoices remain outstanding and are paid in the subsequent reporting period. Our organization respectfully submits this statement to request relief from any late-filing penalties associated with our Form 990. We exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to comply with all filing requirements. Form 8868 Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File was submitted electronically on January 14 2026 prior to the January 15 2026 deadline. However on February 3 2026 we received notice that the extension was rejected due to an IRS system shutdown that delayed and ultimately rejected previously filed extensions. This issue was outside of our control and was not the result of any error or omission on the part of our organization. Upon learning of the rejection we acted promptly to complete and file the required return as quickly as possible. Our organization is committed to full compliance with IRS filing requirements and we have procedures in place to ensure timely filings. We will continue to monitor submission confirmations closely to help prevent similar situations in the future. Because we made a good-faith effort to file the extension on time and the rejection resulted from circumstances beyond our control we respectfully request that any penalties be abated based on reasonable cause. Thank you for your consideration.
