Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationDue to Covid and moving locations, we lost nearly 90% of our volunteer base and several board members. The few remaining volunteers needed to focus on the priorities of keeping the animals in our care fed and healthy, and unfortunately things like filing taxes were overlooked. As of 2023s taxes we have hired a bookkeeper and will be on time going forward.ExplanationTxt
