When our tax preparer attempted to verify our organizations status they were unable to do so. On May 22 2025 we contacted the IRS and spoke with a representative who explained that there are multiple internal IRS systems and one of them had not been updated to reflect our organizations status. This filing year 2024 is also the first year in which our organization met the filing threshold due to receiving qualifying grants and donations. As soon as the issue was identified and clarified we took immediate steps to prepare and submit the necessary return. We respectfully request consideration of this reasonable cause for the delay.
