Our organization did not timely file the Form 990 because we were in the process of obtaining our own 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Prior to this, our program operated under the umbrella of the AAU organization's tax-exempt status. During the transition to becoming an independent nonprofit entity, we were under the impression that our filing requirements would begin after our own exemption was approved. Once we realized that a separate filing was required, we took immediate steps to correct the oversight and ensure all future filings are completed on time. This delay was unintentional and occurred due to our efforts to establish our own tax-exempt status and properly separate from the AAU's organizational structure.
