THE FAMILY RENEWAL INITIATIVE IS IN RECEIPT OF THE IRS CORRESPONDENCE (IRS LETTER#LTR2695C) AND REFERENCE #0422633225.WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE PROBLEM THAT HAS ARISEN FROM THE CHANGE IN FILING REQUIREMENTS CITED IN THE LETTER WHERIN THE IRS NO LONGER ACCEPTS PAPER FORMS 990-EZ. BY WAY OF EXPLANATION, WE ARE A NEWLY FORMED ORGANIZATION (FEBRUARY 2022). OUR ACCOUNTANT HAD NOT FILED A FORM 990 FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE CHANGE REQUIRING ALL FORMS TO BE RECEIVED ELECTRONICALLY, THE FORM WAS TIMELY FILED ON PAPER BY MAIL (AFTER AN EXTENSION), BUT WAS NOT RECEIVED IN THE IRS ACCEPTABLE FORMAT (ELECTRONICALLY).THE REFERENCED LETTER REQUIRES US TO FILE AN ELECTRONIC VERSION WITHIN 10 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE LETTER (MARCH 7, 2024), BUT BY THE TIME OUR ACCOUNTANT RECEIVED THE LETTER, IT WAS ALREADY PAST THAT DATE. OUR BOARD CHAIR-TERRY SMATHERS, CALLED ON MARCH 20 TO REQUEST AN EXTENSION, BUT EMPLOYEE #10046A0640 ADVISED HIM THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GRANT SUCH AN EXTENSION; BUT THAT SHE WOULD DOCUMENT OUR REQUEST AND ENCOURAGED US TO FILE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WHICH WE ARE DOING. FINALLY, THE LETTER ADDRESSED PENALTIES THAT ARE ASSESSED DAILY WHEN AN IMPROPERLY FILED RETURN IS RECEIVED. THOSE PENALTIES WOULD MOST DEFINITELY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR ABILITY TO CARRY OUT OUR MISSION AS A SMALL (MUCH LESS THAN $200,000) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THE RETURN WAS FILED TIMELY (ON PAPER AND SENT BY MAIL) EVEN THOUGH WE WERE UNAWARE OF THE CHANGE IN FILING REQUIREMENTS.IT IS FAMILY RENEWAL INITIATIVE'S DESIRE TO FOLLOW ALL REQUIREMENTS TO FILE FORM 990-EZ TIMELY AND IN THE PROPER FORMAT FOR ALL FUTURE RETURNS. WE WOULD REQUEST THAT ALL ASSESSED PENALTIES BE ABATED, GIVEN THAT THE PURPOSE AND INTENT OF THOSE PENALTIES WILL HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. THE ORGANIZATION DID NOT, DURING THE YEAR, RECEIVE ANY FUNDS, DIRECTLY,OR INDIRECTLY, TO PAY PREMIUMS ON A PERSONAL BENEFIT CONTRACT.THE ORGANIZATION, DID NOT, DURING THE YEAR, PAY ANY PREMIUMS, DIRECTLY,OR INDIRECTLY, ON A PERSONAL BENEFIT CONTRACT.
