Explanation:
We received a filing extension from IRS with a new due date of February 15, 2012. In preparing our Form 990 online through the auspices of the Urban Institute we thought that the February due date had been extended to March 29 due to changes the IRS was making to its systems. We misunderstood the new filing deadline.
