Rebecca Rouse is CEPPs only paid employee and responsible for our tax preparation. On 14 Apr and 18 Apr 2024, she attempted to hire the tax preparer from years past. She received no response. On 4 May, while attending her grandson-s college graduation and US Army commissioning in AZ, 1800 miles from home and 7000+ higher in elevation, her spouse, Ralph Hare, suffered Congestive Heart Failure and literally died. He - and by extension, she - spent the remainder of May 2024 in ICU (YRMC, Prescott, AZ), transitional care, and a physical rehabilitation center. At the end of May, they were prohibited (as in removed from the plane) from flying on Southwest due to Ralph-s new oxygenator they had just bought, being incapable of producing twice as much O2 as he might need. They bought a used car in AZ and took five days to drive the arduous 23-hour trip home. The road trip undid all progress Ralph had made and he visited ERs, enduring a parade of home health care providers, and trekked to a number of specialists in the succeeding months, revealing his heart function is now 35 percent and his kidneys are now at 40 percent. He remains bedridden. Given these misadventures, Rebecca lost focus on tax form preparation and the filing was delayed. Planning to simply prepare the Fm 990 EZ herself, the Board persuaded her to seek a professional. In multiple attempts to hire someone, two agencies declined, one never responded, and one quoted a fee of 1500 dollars but added they thought they were not a good fit. This tale is provided to contextualize the unusual circumstances that distracted Rebecca from our normally good record of filing on time. CEPP operates on a modest budget. In the event CEPP is not permitted an abatement of penalties, Rebecca will respectfully appeal. If this fails, she will personally pay the penalties from her salary. (Multiple errors in IRS-approved filer-s software also delayed filing, requiring starting over at entirely new sites.)
