ExplanationJUNE 8, 2021DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURYINTERNAL REVENUE SERVICEOGDEN, UT 84201-0074RE: FAMILY INDEPENDENCE, INC. EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: 82-3528268 FORM: 990-EZ TAX PERIOD: JUNE 30, 2020DEAR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE:ON BEHALF OF OUR CLIENT, FAMILY INDEPENDENCE, INC., WE ARE REQUESTING THAT NO PENALTIES OR INTEREST BE ASSESSED FOR LATE FILING OF THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2020 FORM 990-EZ, BASED ON REASONABLE CAUSE.REASONABLE CAUSE HAS BEEN DEFINED AS SUCH A CAUSE AS WOULD PROMPT AN ORDINARILY INTELLIGENT MAN TO ACT UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES AS DID THE TAXPAYER IN FAILING TO FILE HIS TAX RETURN ON TIME (CHARLES E. PEARSALL & SON, 29 BTA 747 (1934)). REASONABLE CAUSE FOR FAILURE TO FILE EXISTS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE TAXPAYER CAN SATISFACTORILY SHOW THAT HE EXERCISED ORDINARY BUSINESS CARE AND PRUDENCE IN PROVIDING FOR THE FILING OF HIS RETURN.FAMILY INDEPENDENCE, INC. IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION FORMED IN 2017 TO PROVIDE A GROUP LIVING HOME FOR TEEN MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO ARE RECEIVING PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND ARE UNABLE TO LIVE WITH THEIR FAMILIES OF THE CHILDREN'S FATHER DUE TO ABUSE, NEGLECT, SUBSTANCE ABUSE OR OTHER EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.THE ORGANIZATION WAS FORMED WITH A DECEMBER 31 YEAR END. DURING 2019 THE ORGANIZATION CHANGED THEIR END TO JUNE 30. A SHORT PERIOD FORM 990-EZ WAS FILED FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2019 TO JUNE 30, 2019 WITH "CHANGE OF ACCOUNTING PERIOD NOTED AT THE TOP. ON MAY 17, 2021, THE EXTENDED DUE DATE OF THE JUNE 30, 2020 FORM 990-EZ, WE ATTEMPTED TO ELECTRONICALLY FILE THE JUNE 30, 2020 990-EZ. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ELECTRONIC FILING REQUEST WAS REJECTED. AFTER CONTACTING THE IRS, WE DETERMINED THAT THE IRS DATABASE HAD NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR THE NEW YEAR END, WHICH WAS CAUSING THE ELECTRONIC FILING TO BE REJECTED. THE IRS AGENT WAS ABLE TO UPDATE THE IRS DATABASE FOR THE NEW YEAR. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE TWO WEEKS FOR THE ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM TO BE UPDATED, AT WHICH TIME WE RE-SUBMITTED THE JUNE 30, 2020 FORM 990EZ FOR ELECTRONIC FILING. WE BELIEVE THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES DEMONSTRATE THAT THE TAXPAYER EXERCISED ORDINARY BUSINESS CARE AND PRUDENCE IN AN EFFORT TO FILE ITS TAX RETURNS IN A TIMELY MANNER. THEREFORE, LATE FILING WAS NOT DUE TO WILLFUL NEGLECT, BUT A REASONABLE CAUSE. CONSEQUENTLY, WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT NO PENALTIES BE ASSESSED.SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR REQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, I MAY BE REACHED AT 781-380-3520.VERY TRULY YOURS,JOLANTA TUCK, CPAExplanationTxt
