ExplanationWe filed our 2020 990 in paper format on time as we have for the last several decades. The 2020 instructions gave the Ogden, Utah address for delivery of the 990 return. That is what we used. We did not get information from the IRS or our other financial advisors that indicated that the process had changed for 2020. Had our return been processed in a timely manner, we would have had time to correctly file electronically before the November 15, 2021 due date for this return. We received the IRS letter informing us of this change on May 13, and we are filing now to address this problem.ExplanationTxt
