Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationWe would like to request an abatement for the 2017 tax and interest charges as shown on this form. We hired a third party provider to complete the tax return and they found there was additional information needed from us to complete this return and that took a significant amount of time to get. This return was late due to the additional consulting time it took to get all the required information. Payment of this penalty would have a huge negative impact on the ability of our organization to continue running the program. There was no attempt on our part to withhold information from the IRS or prejudice the interest of the Federal Government. We respectfully request the abatement of this penalty and interest.ExplanationTxt
