| Explanation | Because of the pandemic, this was a very stressful and demanding year. I thought the 990N, which we usually file was filed and realized, with the receipt of a letter from the IRS, that no form was filed. It was then determined that we should file the 990EZ. This is the first time filing the 990EZ form. I had difficulty finding the form. Once it was found, our main computer was nonoperational for more than a week and we wanted to file the form online. Once the computer was updated with a new operational system, it was discovered that we needed to use a service to file. By this time, we were late in filing so we registered with TaxAct, found that the form that we found and completed couldn't be uploaded and filed in their system. So, we paid for and downloaded the proper form on their system and found that we could not use it because their downloaded forms work only on Windows computers and we use a Mac. So, we found the Form990 online system to file the required 990_EZ and Schedule A. So sorry for the late filing. | ExplanationTxt |
