RE: PEDIATRICS PLUS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS ID # 20-3887117FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 12/31/24, THIS TAXPAYER EMPLOYED A NEW CPA FIRM TO PERFORM THEIR FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT. IN THE PAST, THE ENGAGEMENT WITH THEIR AUDITOR INCLUDED THE PREPARATION OF THE FORM 990. THEREFORE, THE ADMINISTRATION AND BOARD ASSUMED ALL FILLINGS WERE COMPLETED ONCE THE AUDIT WAS COMPLETED FOR 12/31/24. DUE TO EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, PEDIATRICS PLUS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS WAS FORCED TO YET AGAIN EMPLOY ANOTHER NEW CPA FIRM TO PERFORM THEIR FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT FOR THE NEXT YEAR, 12/31/25. THIS NEW ACCOUNTING FIRM DISCOVERED THE 990S WERE IN FACT NOT FILED AND IMMEDIATELY INFORMED THE BOARD. THE BOARD SUBSEQUENTLY CONTACTED OUR FIRM TO PREPARED THE NECESSARY RETURNS. BOTH LATE FILINGS WERE COMPLETELY UNINTENTIONAL AND THE TAXPAYER HAS DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO CORRECT THE OVERSIGHT AS SOON AS IT WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. THEY CURRENTLY HAVE A REPUTABLE AUDITOR WHO HAS ASSURED THEM THE IRS FILINGS WILL BE TIMELY FILED FOR FUTURE YEARS.ALSO, TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, PEDIATRICS PLUS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS HAS A CLEAN TAX HISTORY AND HAS NOT INCURRED ANY PENALTY FOR LATE FILING WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS. THEREFORE, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A WAIVER UNDER THE FIRST-TIME ABATEMENT WAIVER. PEDIATRICS PLUS COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITY ORGANIZED TO SERVE CHILDREN OF THE CENTRAL ARKANSAS COMMUNITY. IT CHARGES NOMINAL FEES TO ITS PARTICIPANTS AND ACCEPTS ANY DONATIONS, WHEN OFFERED, BUT REGULARLY OPERATES ON A VERY LIMITED BUDGET. THEREFORE, WE ARE ASKING FOR ANY LENIENCY YOU CAN PROVIDE IN REGARD TO THE PENALTY ASSESSED. A PENALTY WOULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC IMPACT TO THIS ENTITY AND A REAL SETBACK FOR THEIR OPERATION AND PURPOSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST.
