| Explanation | ORGANIZATION IS FILING LATE DUE TO CHANGING ITS CPA TO PREPARE THE FORM 990. THERE WAS A MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL CPA AND THE SUCCESSOR CPA AS TO WHO FILED THE EXTENSION. THE ORGANIZATION WAS NOT NEGLIGENT IN ITS EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE EXTENSION WAS FILED AND AS A RESULT OF THE MISCOMMUNICATION THE EXTENSION WAS NOT FILED. ONCE THIS ERROR WAS DISCOVERED THE ORGANIZATION MADE EVERY REASONABLE EFFORT TO FILE A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE FORM 990 AS SOON AS ADMINISTRATIVELY POSSIBLE. THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT AWARE OF LATE FILINGS IN THE PAST AND IS REASONABLY CERTAIN THIS IS A FIRST TIME LATE FILING. THE ORGANIZATION RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS THAT ANY PENALTIES AS A RESULT OF THE LATE FILING BE WAIVED. | ExplanationTxt |
