    <ReasonableCauseExplanation documentId="DOCIDREASONCAUSE">
      <ExplanationTxt>Dear Sir/Madam, We apologize for submitting the return late, but circumstances occurred that were beyond our control. We originally had intended to file this return by the due date of February 15, 2026. However, we encountered prolonged issues with our financial accounting system that prevented us from obtaining accurate financial information in order to prepare a complete and accurate return. By the time we realized this, it was too late to file an extension. We respectfully ask that you consider an abatement, for reasonable cause, of any penalty that may be levied as a result of the delay. We are a small non-profit-organization whose sole source of revenues is from federal and state grants. A penalty of any size would create a hardship as we do not have unrestricted funds. We hope that you will favorably grant this request. Sincerely Susan James, President/CEO Quality Care Resource &amp; Referral Service, Inc.</ExplanationTxt>
