Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationThe Chopra Foundation return was filed late and we request an abatement from any assessment for late filing penalty due to reasonable cause. You should note that the Foundation has a history of filing timely and has not previously requested an abatement. The filing of the return was delayed as the Foundation was unable to complete the information required for the audited financial statements and gather the data to file timely due to several natural disasters experienced at office locations initially in California and then in Florida. The Foundation was initially affected by the California series of wildfires that occurred in 2021 and then by the rain caused by multiple atmospheric rivers that occurred December 2022 - March 2023. Then after relocating operations to Florida, the Foundation was affected by Hurricane Idalia August 2023. The Foundation, due to these multiple natural disasters, affected their ability to complete their December 2021 and 2022 years audited financials and their Form 990's on a timely basis. The IRS had designated these areas as disaster zones. Our auditing firm and tax preparer of the Foundation's returns, has offices and tax personnel that perform services related to the audited financials and Form 990's and these offices and personnel were also affected by the natural disasters. Reasonable cause The Foundation's mission is dedicated to improving the health and well-being, cultivating spiritual knowledge, expanding consciousness, suicide prevention, and promoting world peace to all members of the human family. The Foundation partners with on-the-ground organizations across the world, to include underserved communities in India and Africa. During the 2021 and 2022 tax years, The Foundation's programs were slowly rebuilding from the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and related closures. The financial harm to the Foundation is reflected in the filed tax returns as resources were extremely limited while the Foundation shifted its programs to support global suicide and mental-health initiatives. The failure to file in a timely manner was inadvertent, not willful, or neglectful. The Foundation has worked diligently with our firm to get the financials to present an accurate and complete return post disasters and currently is in the process of its 2023 audited financial statements and providing data for the 2023 Form 990 ahead of filing before its extended due date of November 15, 2024. The Foundation has recovered from these interruptions and fully expects to file its return timely for the 2023 tax year. For the reasons outlined above, the Foundation believes that it has demonstrated that it has reasonable cause for a penalty abatement being assessed on the 2021 and 2022 returns filed. Thank you for your consideration of the Foundation's abatement request due to reasonable cause as outlined herein.ExplanationTxt
