Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 available upon request. Statement Note 1 Request for Reasonable Cause Relief Under IRC Section 6652(c)(1)(A)San Jose Jazz respectfully requests relief from the late-filing penalty associated with its Form 990 for the tax year ended March 31, 2026.The organization has established procedures for meeting its federal tax filing requirements and has timely filed its Form 990 returns in all prior years. The organization relies on its professional tax preparer as part of its established filing process to prepare and timely file required returns and extensions.Due to an isolated administrative breakdown in the preparer's deadline-tracking process, the Form 8868 extension for this filing period was inadvertently not transmitted by the August 17, 2026 due date. The organization reasonably believed that its normal filing procedures were being followed.Upon discovery that the extension had not been filed, the organization and its tax preparer took immediate steps to complete and file the Form 990 as promptly as possible.This was an isolated occurrence and was not the result of willful neglect. The tax preparer has revised its internal procedures to provide an additional review of fiscal-year filing and extension deadlines to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.Considering the organization's consistent history of timely filing, its established procedures for meeting its filing obligations, and the prompt corrective action taken upon discovery of the omission, San Jose Jazz respectfully requests that the IRS waive the late-filing penalty for reasonable cause.Under penalties of perjury, I declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statement is true, correct, and complete.Julie RamirezChairSan Jose Jazz9/21/26
