The organization acknowledges that its Form 990 was not filed by the applicable due date. The delay was not the result of willful neglect or an intention to disregard the organization's federal filing obligations. Rather, the organization is a small nonprofit with limited administrative resources and a very lean staff. In that environment, the preparation and filing of the Form 990 was delayed beyond the applicable deadline. The organization understands that it remains responsible for timely compliance with its federal filing obligations notwithstanding its limited staffing and resources. Nevertheless, the circumstances surrounding this particular filing were not the result of intentional disregard of the filing requirement. Failure to file timely was an isolated administrative failure occurring in the context of those limited resources. Once the organization became aware that the filing deadline had passed, it took steps to complete and file the Form 990 as promptly as practicable. The organization respectfully submits that these facts, considered in their entirety, support a finding of reasonable cause under § 6652(c)(1)(A). The organization did not intentionally disregard its filing obligation, acted to correct the delinquency once identified, and has implemented procedures designed to ensure timely compliance going forward.
