We have woodworking, metalworking, and electronics tools. We have nearly 20 members in the central missouri area. We also have hundreds of people each year who come to use the tools in the workshop and socialize and get help with their projects at home, which is the goal of the organization, to serve the community and help with things like this. 0 0 0 Adam Brown President 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MO Adam Brown 1911 E Riviera Dr Columbia MO 65202 6362361069 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 7771 6646 7665 22082 0 0 7771 6646 7665 22082 22082 0 0 7771 6646 7665 22082 X Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B I am filing this amended 2021 return because I was not aware that e-filing was a requirement. Prior to that, our nonprofit temporarily had no leadership team due to COVID-19 and I took up the task to file missing tax returns and have the organization reinstated after auto-revocation of nonprofit status. My apologies for any issues this has caused. I would like to ask that any penalties be waived for reasonable cause. Thank you. To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this letter to request abatement for penalties for Tax Year 2021 filing for the Columbia Gadget Works (Non-Profit Organization). I am requesting forgiveness due to an inability to obtain any records to file tax returns caused by the COVID-19. The organization went through a restructuring as many of the members became inactive during these tax year periods due to the COVID-19. Then, The former president also left the organization without providing any notices during this period. No members had access to sufficient information which would enable them to timely file the tax returns. The organization had a new election after the members became active again in 2022. As a new president in 2022, I was finally able to obtain the tax related records and documents to complete the tax returns for those tax years. Please consider my request for an abatement for reasonable cause. Please contact me at 636-236-1069 if you have any questions or need any additional documents. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Adam Brown President of Columbia Gadget Works
