Tunefoolery receives funding from state and city governments, and follows the Massachusetts and City of Boston government fiscal year (July 1st through June 30th). Our 2022 filing is based on the tax year beginning 07/01/2022, and ending 06/30/2023. Our long-term Executive Director separated from the organization in September 2023 and we experienced Board and management transitions in the subsequent 8 months. which resulted in confusion about filing deadlines and missing the November 15 deadline for filing an extension. Due to financial losses in the last two fiscal years we also could not afford to engage the accountant we worked with for years prior. When we discovered our error, our Board Treasurer called the IRS and let them know we would file as soon as possible. We appreciate your consideration in not imposing a penalty for late filing. We fully expect that the 2023 return will be filed by September 2024.
