Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b After all input has been appropriately addressed, the final version of the Form 990 (with required schedules) will be distributed to every voting member of the organizations board of directors prior to filing with the IRS. The final form may be distributed either in pages or electronic form in any manner deemed appropriate by the organizations administrator. After the final version of the Form 990 has been distributed, the form is signed by the CEO and filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Organization monitors compliance with its Conflict of Interest Policy through annual signed disclosures completed by directors and key personnel. Each individual affirms receipt and understanding of the policy, agreement to comply with the policy, understanding of the Organization's charitable and tax-exempt purpose, and disclosure of all actual and potential conflicts of interest. Disclosed conflicts are reviewed and addressed in accordance with the policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Compensation for the CEO is set by the board of directors based on its knowledge of compensation in similar non-profit organizations. Compensation for all other employees is set by the CEO and approved by the board of directors when the board approves the annual budget Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Governing documents are available upon request. The Organization respectfully requests abatement of any penalties associated with the filing of its Form 990 because the Organization exercised ordinary business care and prudence in attempting to comply with its filing obligations.The Organization engaged a qualified tax professional to prepare and file Form 8868, Application for Extension of Time To File an Exempt Organization Return, on its behalf. The Organization relied in good faith on its accountant's expertise and took reasonable steps to ensure that the extension was timely filed.Prior to the original due date of the return, the accountant timely submitted Form 8868 electronically. The electronic filing was subsequently rejected due to a transmission or processing issue. The last electronic transmission attempt occurred on May 15, 2026. Upon learning of the rejection, the accountant promptly took corrective action and submitted a paper Form 8868 on May 20, 2026. An IRS Notice CP211C was sent indicating the the extension was denied.IRS Modernized e-File (MeF) procedures recognize a perfection period following a rejected electronic filing during which corrective action may be taken. The paper-filed extension was submitted within the applicable period following the electronic rejection, and therefore the Organization reasonably believed that its extension request had been timely perfected and accepted.At all times, the Organization acted diligently and in good faith. It retained a qualified tax professional, provided the information necessary to complete the filing, and reasonably relied on that professional to satisfy the applicable filing requirements. The Organization had no reason to believe that the extension request had not been properly and timely filed.Any late filing was not the result of willful neglect, intentional disregard of the rules, or a failure to exercise ordinary business care. Rather, it resulted from an electronic filing rejection and the subsequent efforts to perfect the filing in accordance with IRS procedures. Upon becoming aware of the issue, corrective action was taken promptly.Accordingly, the Organization respectfully requests that the IRS recognize that reasonable cause existed for any delay, that the extension be treated as timely filed, and that any penalties assessed be fully abated pursuant to the reasonable cause standards set forth in Treasury Regulation 301.6651-1(c) and applicable penalty-relief provisions.
