Our organization takes its federal filing obligations seriously and made good-faith efforts to comply. The filing was delayed because, during the period when the return was being prepared, we were unable to access the records necessary to complete the Form 990-EZ accurately. In late-April, our previous office location was affected by flooding during spring storms. After the flooding, the landlord boxed and removed our records and personal property from the premises before we were able to secure them ourselves. As a result, we did not have access to the financial records, supporting documents, and organizational materials needed to complete the return. We made efforts to recover the records from the landlord as quickly as possible. The situation was exacerbated by our need to find and lease a new office where the files could be sent. By late May we established our new office location and gained access to the records. We reviewed the necessary materials and submitted the Form 990-EZ as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. The late filing was not due to willful neglect, disregard of filing requirements, or a lack of concern for compliance. It resulted from the temporary loss of access to required records due to flooding and the removal of our property from our prior office location - circumstances outside the organization's control. We also ask the IRS to consider the nature and size of our organization. We are a very small nonprofit devoted to supporting youth athletics. We have no paid staff or paid officers, and our administrative overhead is minimal. The funds we receive are used to support student activities, athletic opportunities, and youth programming. Any late filing penalties would directly reduce the funds available for those youth-focused activities rather than coming from salary, staffing, or discretionary overhead. We respectfully request that the IRS abate the late filing penalty based on reasonable cause. We acted with ordinary business care and prudence under the circumstances, recovered the necessary records as soon as we were able, and filed promptly after regaining access to them.
