The individual who had previously served as treasurer - and who was solely responsible for managing our tax filing obligations - stepped down from their role. During the transition to a new treasurer the Form 990 filing deadline was inadvertently overlooked. Our new treasurer upon assuming the role discovered that the prior years return had not been filed. We took immediate corrective action and filed as promptly as possible upon discovering the oversight. This failure to file timely was not due to willful neglect but rather to a gap in organizational knowledge and responsibility during a volunteer leadership changeover. We are a small all-volunteer nonprofit youth baseball organization. We have since implemented procedures to ensure this does not recur including calendar reminders and a handoff checklist for outgoing officers.
