The return was prepared on time by a retired elderly volunteer with tax preparer experience. However, due to severe lack of electronic filing literacy, the volunteer inadvertently saved the draft instead of executing the final electronic transmission. As volunteers, we exercised ordinary business practices, and have immediately corrected the issue upon recent discovery, as we were trying to file the 2025 filing.
