ExplanationWe have a very small organization and missed the deadline to file for an automatic extension. I have undertaken the process of learning how to use Quickbooks online myself to balance and maintain our books in-house and needed time to ensure that all transactions were recorded properly for 2022. We are deeply sorry to have missed the proper filing date and are now in good shape to have our books in order to meet the 2023 filing deadline. We would be deeply grateful for your mercy in this filing.ExplanationTxt
