This was due to the fact that we were expecting further donations for related purposes and holding over will reduce our bank charges. Other small changes in assets results from donations received. As the director I submitted a revised 990 filing for 2019 at the beginning of the year. I then completed an 1120S for a corporation and then completed and filed a 1040 and schedules for my wife and I. At the end of all of that, I confused the filing of the 2019 form with having completed the 2020 form. I'm 77 years old and confusion can happen! I completed and mailed in the 990 to Ogden IRS using the IRS pdf although it does not appear to be possible then forward that form electronically. I had also missed the new ruling that forms had to be filed electronically. So this submission has been made using a recognized agent.
