Schedule B, Part I We did not receive any contributions from a sole contributor in the amount of $5000 or more. I thought this was completed on May 14, 2024. I did not know that our return was not filed on May 14, 2024 until I received notice from IRS dated 9/23, 2024 and receive 9/26/24. I searched for our forms and communication. I did find and email where they told me that our return was still in edit mode on May 14, 2024 and asked me what browser I was using. I replied that it was Chrome and I never heard anything after that. I assumed it was okay. I sent a copy of this email to IRS on 9/27/2024. I have been trying to figure out what the issue is. I found my notes on how to go into our account and everything is there, It is all completed and I see no red flags. I wlll try this again and then follow up.
