We usually only need to file 990 E-file due to lower receipt annually less than $50,000. In 2023, we just learned from one of our volunteer who is CPA pointing out we have to file 990-EZ which we have never filed before and we don't know how to do it. All officers are volunteer including the treasurer. We all busy on the work and taking care of our family with young kids. CALex is not well funded. We can't afford to hire CPA doing the tax filing for us. We have to wait our volunteer (who is CPA and when he is not busy to ask some filing questions). Therefore we had to delay our filing until we finally understand how to do the 990-EZ. We promise it will not happen again. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.
