Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 At the end of 2022 we don't owe to suppliers, vendors and creditors; we don't owe mortgages, loans, grants payable or other account payable. The reasons why we did not file on time are due to various factors. First there was a lack of awareness about the filing deadline within our organization, we became aware we were late until the IRS sent us a letter to remind us about. We have limited resources, both financial and human, these limits no doubt had an impact on the organization's ability to allocate sufficient time and personnel to handle the filing requirements promptly. Our organization faces unexpected administrative challenges, given that we are only two people as staff, with inexperienced board members, and the organization's need to grow (get grants and financial support) and the mission to provide services (arts and culture) delays this important priority. Also the grants we received did not cover funds to hire personnel. We also had our share of illness among our staff. Our Programming Director is on disability, she has an autoimmune illness. Getting through the Covid-19 pandemic was a challenge, in the middle of it is when we received our 501 c 3 status, and our only mission became to grow the organization. Language barrier. Our staff running the organization are immigrants, for us English is our second language, and the highly technical language in these 990 forms, Schedules and instructions makes the process more complicated. It might be great to have these forms and its instructions in Spanish.
