| Explanation | THE FOLLOWING IS A PORTION OF A LETTER THAT WE HAVE ALSO FAXED TO YOU ON DECEMBER 22,2022. THE FULL LETTER FAXED ACCOMPANIES THE ORIGNAL FILED TAX RETURN AND IRS NOTICE WE RECEIVED. We received (on December 17) your letter dated December 9, 2022 along with our 2021 990 EZ tax return. Your letter states that you could not process our timely-filed 990EZ form because it was not electronically filed. As a small nonprofit organization, our tax return was prepared by a non-paid volunteer treasurer who was unaware of the electronic filing requirement. In mid-2021 during the COVID crisis, we lost our paid staff who had always filed our Form 990 in a timely fashion. The new treasurer had very little direction other than the previous year's tax return, which had been filed by paper format. The change in requirements for nonprofit organizations to electronically file was not apparent on the government website enough to alert us to the change. As a matter of fact, it was very difficult to locate that requirement on the site even after we received the December 9 notice. Please note that the paper tax return was submitted by the deadlines required; postmarked May 16, 2022, and stamped received by the IRS on May 31st 2022. We absolutely did not know it was required to electronically file or we would have done so. Furthermore, we were not notified right away after the IRS received it on May 31st. If we were notified in timely fashion, we would have corrected the situation immediately. We recognize that the IRS is underfunded and understaffed, however it seems unfair for us to be paying a penalty for the IRS's 6.5-month delay in notifying us. We respectfully and humbly request that you abate all penalties and interest charges related to this matter as it was not done willfully by an inexperienced volunteer. A penalty of this magnitude would significantly reduce the funds available and we would have to make a choice between providing for those in need in our community - the primary purpose of our organization - or reducing hours for our recently-hired staff. Now that we are aware, we can and will electronically file the 2021 return and all future returns. | ExplanationTxt |
