| EXPLANATION OF LATE FILING | We are requesting abatement of any late filing penalties for the 2014 tax year based on reasonable cause.The organization is run by a management company that took over from the former management company in December of 2013. At that time there was an arrangement in place with a tax preparer to prepare the 2014 tax returns. However, the (former) tax preparer did not prepare the 2014 returns, nor file extensions for 2014. This was not discovered until early 2016.In March 2016 an experienced non-profit CPA was engaged and the past due return was prepared as soon as possible. Additional delay was created by the discovery that dues notices had not been sent to certain members as required by law. Form 990-T for 2014 has now been filed to pay the proxy tax.These actions show that the organization takes its tax filing responsibilities seriously and cares that the tax laws are complied with. The organization has never filed late in the past and has taken a number of steps to insure that late filing never occurs again. For example, the 2015 return is on extension.Due care was taken to file the return on a timely basis, and the delay was not due to willful neglect. When the late filing was discovered the return was promptly prepared and filed. Based on the foregoing, and under penalty of perjury, we believe that we have demonstrated reasonable cause for late filing and request that any penalties by abated. |
