Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationI filed the paper return on April 29, 2021. USPS showed that my mail was in transient, so per instructions given by an IRS representative, I mailed a copy of my return again on November 17, 2021. It was still not processed, so I mailed it once again on December 3, 2021. Meanwhile, I changed my mailing address and informed IRS of this change. My original return, however, was returned to my previous post office box and was not forwarded to me until last week (July 23, 2022) with a cover letter. It stated that my return could not be processed because it did not have schedule B. Now, to make sure of correct filing, I completed this return by using an online service. I hope this completes the 2020 tax return for Stepping Stone Ministries International.ExplanationTxt
