| Explanation | A severe storm knocked out our satellite internet (made the dish mal-align) and we had no internet for several weeks. The storm also knocked out power for some time in our area due to trees, hail, etc. I called the internet satellite company and reported the outage. After being cancelled for repair/service over and over, due to lack of service personnel and issues with Covid causing personnel shortages. We do not have cellular service at our home, as we are too far from a tower to receive a constant signal or reliable signal. I finally decided that to make my best effort in good faith was to file the document in hard copy to the address I had used previously. I have never been late filing before, via hard copy, and ask forgiveness in this electronic filing delay. I am filing this online the same day I've received the IRS notification in the mail. | ExplanationTxt |
