Explanation:
I am writing on behalf of the Weimaraner Rescue of Texas, Inc. (WRT) regarding the late filing penalty potential for the attached 990 Form and associated schedules for the tax year ended 6/30/2019. The ID for the organization is 75-2739729. The organization believes it has reasonable cause for filing late and is hereby requesting that the IRS abate the late-filing penalties. The WRT is a charity whose mission is the rescue, rehabilitate and locate adoptive homes for the Weimaraner breed. The volunteers which worked during the tax year ended 6/30/2019 were not compensated for their time when working on behalf of WRT. This included the then volunteer Controller who reported to the volunteer Treasurer. Both individuals worked approximately 70 hours a week at their demanding Accounting/Finance jobs and as a result were constantly six to eight months behind in keeping the accounting records updated. The accounting system that was used was a 2013 Desk Top version that was maintained by the Controller and was no longer supported by the software vendor. Additionally, the Controller was familiar with the 990EZ form but did not understand the 990 long form. Due to the lack of understanding and being behind in keeping accurate records, the Controller filed form 8868 until 5/15/2020. Board elections were held in July of 2019, and the Treasurer was replaced due to untimely accounting records. The Controller agreed to get the books caught up and to file all taxes timely. In time the Treasurer and Board were led to believe the Form 990 for the year ended 6/30/2019 was filed. In the fall of 2020, as the books had not been caught up and sales taxes issues, the Treasurer and Board decided to look for a CPA to take over the position of the Controller to get the books current, timely file all taxes, and to update the software. As an incentive to ensure all of this would be accomplish, for the first time in WRT's history, the Board agreed to pay the CPA a de minimis amount. The CPA agreed during the fall of 2020, but the Controller was still behind in the books, and did not get the accounting records updated for the year ended 6/30/2020 until January of 2021. The CPA at that time got the desktop version and began working thinking the year ended 6/30/2020 had been completed. In May of 2021, the CPA and Board learned that the two prior year forms 990 were not filed, and it was decided to get current, implement a new cloud based system and to file taxes. In July of 2021 the desktop version failed, and it was not until August the accounting system was restored on a new laptop. Over the past month, the CPA has caught up the accounting records, reviewed the prior year for Sales Taxes (and corrected the prior year books for these taxes), implemented a new accounting cloud based system. The CPA is now in process of creating all filings. We respectfully request that the IRS abate all assessed penalties and interest related to our 2018 Form 990.
