This is a Reasonable Cause Explanation of the circumstances surrounding the late filing of the 2022 990 tax return and to request the abatement of any associated penalties and interest. The 2022 return was originally electronically filed 8/14/23 (see attached 2022 8879-TE). However, it was rejected by the IRS due to an incorrect accounting period. Prior to the e-filing, the IRS approved Form 1128 to change the accounting period from calendar year to fiscal year ending June 30th. Unfortunately, this change caused the rejection of the original return. Subsequently, on the advice of our tax preparer, we mail in the return. It was only after receiving a notice from the IRS indicating that the return had not been filed that we discovered that Form 990 must be electronically filed, and paper copies are not accepted. Upon learning this, we contacted the IRS and spoke with a representative in the Tax Law Department who advised us to resubmit the return, ensuring that changing the accounting period back to calendar year within the software will facilitate acceptance. We respectfully request the waiver of all penalties and interest considering these circumstances.
