THE CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION HAS HISTORICALLY FILED THEIR ANNUAL 990 TIMELY, LARGELY WITH THE AID OF A FORMER BOARD MEMBER DOING THE PREPARATION PRO BONO. UNBEKNOWNST TO THE ORGANIZATION, THE FORMER BOARD MEMBER MOVED TO A NEW ROLE WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET AHOLD OF THEM IN TIME TO FILE THE 990 BY THE DUE DATE. TO ENSURE THAT THIS SITUATION DOES NOT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE, THE CARMEL CLAY PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION HAS HIRED A CPA FIRM THAT WILL KEEP TRACK OF THE ANNUAL FILING AND REMIND THE ORGANIZATION OF NEEDED ITEMS SO IT CAN BE FILED. ADDITIONAL INTERNAL STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO GUARANTEE THAT THE ACCOUNTING FIRM IS FOLLOWED UP WITH IF THE ANNUAL INFORMATION NEEDED IS NOT REQUESTED BY A CERTAIN TIME. GIVEN THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES STATED ABOVE, IT HAS BEEN DISPLAYED THAT THE ORGANIZATION MADE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO FILE THE TAX RETURN TIMELY BUT LACKED THE ABILITY TO DO SO AND HAS SINCE TAKEN STEPS TO ENSURE THAT LATE FILING WILL NOT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE; GIVEN THESE FACTORS WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT ALL POSSIBLE PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE ABATED IN RELATION TO THIS LATE FILING.
