The failure to timely file was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. The individual primarily responsible for coordinating and handling Taxpayers tax filings experienced ongoing family emergencies and illnesses during the relevant filing period. These circumstances were unexpected serious and continued over a period of time that directly interfered with that individuals ability to complete coordinate and submit the required filing by the applicable deadline. Taxpayer had historically relied on this individual to manage the tax filing process and there was no expectation that the filing would not be timely completed. Despite exercising ordinary business care and prudence Taxpayer was unable to timely file because the responsible individuals family emergencies and illnesses disrupted the normal filing process and prevented timely completion of the return. Once Taxpayer became aware that the filing had not been submitted Taxpayer acted promptly to complete and file the return and to address any outstanding compliance obligations. Taxpayer has also taken corrective steps to prevent this issue from recurring. Going forward Taxpayer has implemented additional safeguards including maintaining internal filing calendars with deadline reminders assigning a backup person to monitor tax filing obligations requiring periodic status checks before filing deadlines and engaging outside tax assistance when necessary to ensure that returns are prepared and filed timely even if the primary responsible individual is unavailable. These procedures are intended to provide redundancy and ensure that future filing obligations are timely met. Taxpayer respectfully submits that the late filing resulted from circumstances beyond Taxpayers reasonable control and not from intentional disregard of the filing requirements. For these reasons Taxpayer respectfully requests that the IRS abate the applicable penalties based on reasonable cause. Under penalties of perjury I declare that the facts stated above are true correct and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
