Explanation:
The organization, the Washington Chapter of International Womens Forum relies upon dues to accomplish its non-profit, tax-exempt purpose. It has a limited budget and generally does not have resources to hire tax professionals. The organization relied upon its in-house administrative staff to prepare and file its annual Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. As a result of the hardship created by the Covid-19 pandemic plus an unawareness of the July 2021 change to the law requiring non-profit 990-EZ forms to be filed electronically as opposed to being mailed, the return was not filed by its due date. The failure to file was not due to willful neglect. Upon receipt of notice CP259A on August 14, 2023, the administrator has taken steps to avoid late filing in future years, including, contacting a CPA for assistance. I respectfully request that late filing penalties be waived for reasonable cause under Regulation 301.6652-2f.This statement is attached to and made part if Form 990-EZ. I declare under penalties of perjury that the above statement is true and correct. Gretchen Smyth, Administrator
