Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 We keep these documents in a secure location and share them with members upon request. We respectfully request an abatement of penalties assessed for the late filing of Form 990 for the 2023 tax year. We acknowledge that the filing of Form 990 was submitted after the due date, and we deeply regret the delay. However, we request that the penalties be abated due to reasonable cause, as outlined herein. Our organization is entirely volunteer-run, and as such, our Treasurer is responsible for preparing our tax returns. Unfortunately, our Treasurer experienced significant health issues that required surgery during the time the return was due. As a result, the Treasurer was unable to manage the filing process effectively and miscounted the months available to submit the tax return. We believe this situation falls within the IRS's guidelines for reasonable cause, and we respectfully ask for your understanding and consideration in removing the penalties assessed for the late filing. To prevent this issue in the future, our organization has established a financial committee to handle financial matters, including reporting and tax filings. This committee structure ensures that critical tasks, such as tax return preparation, will no longer fall on a single individual, thereby providing redundancy for these important responsibilities.
