We discovered a few months ago that our former treasurer never submitted 990 forms for 2018, 2019 or 2020. We tried looking for him, only to find out that he was out of the country due to job transfer. We filed 2018 and 2019. After speaking to a very helpful employee with the IRS, we learned that we needed to fill out Form 8868 for an extension. We request that you please remove the late filing penalty for 2020. As an all volunteer organization, we found ourselves in a very difficult situation, not only for our IRS filing, but with the impacts COVID has had on our programs and donations. We are simply not in a position to absorb any penalties. Our all volunteer board met to ensure that something like this does not happen again. While we don't have enough to hire a full time accountant or CPA, we have established checks and balances. Rather than being dependent on one person, we have established a committee to work on accounting. We have also created a detailed PDF process document that will be passed down from treasurer to treasurer, so we don't have to hunt down documents again. We are so sorry for any difficulties and inconvenience this has caused you. We are grateful for your consideration in waiving the penalty for late filing.
