Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Insurance;809|Supplies and advertising expenses;197^Total;1006^ All officers of the organization are unpaid volunteers. The person responsible for preparing the tax forms is a retired CPA who prepares the tax return on a volunteer basis, Brenda Blitman. This volunteer logged into the Urban Institutes system on 5/14/20 and prepared an extension of time to file the tax return. For some reason, the extension was not correctly transmitted to the IRS. Because the volunteer prepares only a handful of tax returns, there was not a reason to log into the on line system to verify that the extension had been filed, until preparing this tax return. The volunteer made a good faith effort to file an extension of time to file the tax return. It would be extremely unfair to assess the organization a penalty because the volunteer did not double check the electronic filing process. The deadlines for filing were adjusted because of COVID and the online system did not send a reminder that the extension had not been processed that the volunteer noticed. The volunteer upgraded their computer equipment during the summer, which was additionally challenging because of COVID restrictions. We sincerely ask that any penalties related to late filing of this tax return be abated. The funds are 100% used for student programs for the Kuna's school children. Any penalties would significantly impact children's education in Kuna. Your understanding and accepting a reasonable cause for late filing that the organization relied on a retired CPA to file the extension is appreciated.
