After reviewing and confirming the information in the Exempt Organization Business Master File, additional filing attempts were made on 03/16, 03/18 and and again on 5/19, 5/20, 6/02, 06/11. All attempts were rejected due to end year mismatch. Each time a called was placed to the IRS Help Desk at (866) 255-0654; however, most attempts resulted in the message: Due to high call volume, we are unable to answer your call regarding questions in this area. To comply with the five-day allowable grace period for electronic filing, a paper return was submitted along with Form 8948 explaining the unsuccessful electronic filing attempts. On May 15th, a letter was received by the IRS dated April 22, 2026 stating that the paper filing was rejected due to IRS mandate to efile. Upon receiving the rejection notice for paper filing we have worked diligently with the IRS help desk to find a solution to filing. On June 2, 2026, an escalation number was assigned to research the issue. I did not receive a follow-up call within three business days therefore an additional call was made on 6/16 at which time I was told the escalation department will call me. On July 9, 2026, I received a call from the escalation department and was told the issue was due to an overlapping short year extension request which changed the fiscal year end date to June 30 and that a temporary window would be opened to file a return with the original tax year end date April 30th. We kindly request consideration for abatement and late filing penalties as the delay was not due to willful neglect but rather an inability to confirm year end filing information through the efile help desk system and continued difficulty with tax year end date mismatch of information due to circumstances. Thank you.
