Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationThe filing of the return was delayed due to time constraints surrounding my wedding, which coincided with the original April 15 deadline. To ensure the return was completed accurately and thoroughly, I filed for a six-month extension, extending the deadline to October 15. This extension allowed sufficient time to gather the necessary documentation and submit a complete and accurate return by October 14.ExplanationTxt
