Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Insurance;490|Supporting Programs;35687|Pta Admin;3204^Total;39381^ This is an abatement request by the Cedar Park Elementary PTA. Our small public school PTA is a 100% volunteer-run organization. All elected board positions are held for 2 years or less by busy parents of young children who often have little to no experience serving on boards and most of whom also work full-time jobs. We are a relatively new organization, as our school and PTA were founded in 2017. This is the first time the Cedar Park PTA has ever missed filing taxes. The elected treasurer for the 2024-2025 school year had never before served as a treasurer and became overwhelmed by the extensive responsibilities of this volunteer role (while also working a full-time job and parenting). While he did file for an initial extension, he did not communicate to the rest of the board that taxes had not been filed nor file for an additional extension. Historically, our organization has made too little income to file the 990EZ. Our income surpassed $50,000 for only the past 2 fiscal years, so filing this type of tax form is quite new to our organization (only one of our treasurers has previously completed this process). The board as a whole was unaware that taxes had not been filed until an annual review was completed in September 2025. Since that time, our current treasurer (newly elected) has been working to educate herself on how to rectify this situation. Efforts have included scouring the IRS website for information, calling the IRS on 9/19, 9/25 and 9/30, and contacting the Washington State PTA to request assistance on 9/17 and 9/18, with little clarity found. Our current treasurer is actively working to complete Cedar Park Elementary PTA 2024 taxes, and the Cedar Park Elementary PTA Board is working to ensure that this type of oversight is not made again in the future. We request that the IRS not charge late fees of our small, non-profit, 100% volunteer-run organization. Our efforts directly serve public school children, their families, school teachers and staff. Our volunteers work extremely hard to earn every dollar (often from donations as little as $5) to serve our public school. Daily late tax fees would put undue stress on our small organization and stymie the work that we do. Thank you for your consideration. Please let us know what additional information, if any, is needed.
