There was zero revenue, no income or expenses, and no assets. As a newly formed entity, the board was focused on creating internal processes, structuring governance procedures, and establishing operational parameters. Because there was no financial activity or tax liability the organization mistakenly believed that a return was not required until financial activities commenced. This was an honest misunderstanding by a new volunteer board exercising ordinary business care to build a compliant organization. In addition, we have never received any noncompliance or penalty notices from the IRS. We are immediately taking corrective action and filing the 2023 return. To ensure strict compliance going forward we have established a permanent regulatory calendar, appointed a complaince officer, and hired a professional CPA firm to ensure that deadlines are met.
