THE SCHOOL THAT THE PTO IS AFFILIATED WITH WAS CLOSED DUE TO COVID AND NECESSARY INFORMATION WAS NOT ABLE TO BE RETRIEVED. THE COMMUNITY THAT THE SCHOOL FOR WHICH THE PTO IS AFFILIATED WAS HARD HIT BY THE COVID VIRUS AND LOGISTICALLY IT WAS NOT FEASIBLE TO COORDINATE THE SHARING OF INFORMATION IN ORDER TO FILE THE RETURN. THERE HAD ALSO BEEN A CHANGE IN TREASURERS AS WELL AS BANK ACCOUNT TRANSFERS THAT NEEDED TO BE RESOLVED IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE AMOUNTS REPORTED WERE CORRECT. THERE WERE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE IRS IN ORDER TO SEEK GUIDANCE ON HOW TO BEST RESOLVE THE FILING ISSUES, AND WE WERE TOLD VIA A PRERECORDED MESSAGE THAT THERE WAS NOT ANYONE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST. WE WOULD ALSO ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER THAT THIS ORGANIZATION IS A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION, MADE UP OF MOTHERS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN, WHO WERE ALL HOME SCHOOLED DURING COVID. ANY PENALTIES ASSESSED AGAINST THE ORGANIZATION WILL TAKE FUNDS DIRECTLY AWAY FROM THE FUNDS USED TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION. THE MISSIONS IS TO SUPPORT THE PUBLIC EDUCATION OF THE STUDENTS OF THE LINCOLN HUBBARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SMALL SIZE OF THE ORGANIZATION THAT SUCH A PENALTY WOULD HAVE A LARGE IMPACT ON THE ABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION TO FUND ITS OPERATIONS. PLEASE ACCEPT THIS PETITION TO EXPLAIN THE LATE FILING OF THE RETURN. THERE HAS BEEN A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE NEWEST VOLUNTEER TREASURER WHO HAS A STRONG ACCOUNTING BACKGROUND. AS SOON AS THIS FILING PERIOD WAS COMPLETED THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR WAS IMMEDIATELY COMPLETED AS WELL IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE GOING FORWARD. THE ORGANIZATION HAS SET UP ELECTRONIC METHODS TO ENSURE THAT BANKING AND OTHER INFORMATION WILL BE READILY SHARED IN THE EVENT OF ANOTHER DISASTER.
