ExplanationI sent a certified letter (see below). Also, I called the 800 number and was told that I need to file the return via online and not paper. I just recently opened the mail and saw that there is an issue with The Bridge for Community Services tax return for 2022 and until now, I was not aware of this error. This is the first tax year that required us to submit Form 990 EZ, so in the past we submitted Form 990-N. In 2023, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have gone through several months of chemotherapy and currently I am going through radiation treatments and due to this illness, I got behind on correspondence and paperwork, therefore I am requesting that you give us an extension on our tax return so I can make the correction and avoid penalties.ExplanationTxt
