Tax filer meets reasonable cause criteria and exercised ordinary business care and prudence According to IRM 20.1.1.3.2, Reasonable cause, the IRS provides relief from a penalty based on reasonable cause when the taxpayer exercised ordinary business care and prudence in determining his or her tax obligations but was nevertheless unable to comply with those obligations. In Spring 2023, Urban Sprouts Child Development Center (USCDC) engaged an accountant to complete the IRS Form 990 filing. The accountant did not realize that electronic filing was required and the return was mailed on November 15, 2023. When USCDC became aware of the error in filing, they reached out to the new accountant who was engaged in January 2024. The new accountant has prepared the Form 990 and is filing electronically. There was no intentional negligence but instead a lack of professional services that led to this oversight. The taxpayer exercised ordinary business care and prudence by acting in March 2024 once they learned that the previous accountant did not file the return correctly. There is a new accountant and systems in place to ensure compliance with timely filings moving forward. Based on the facts presented above, we respectfully request that the any penalties assessed be removed based on reasonable cause.
