Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

ExplanationThe Foundation has worked to obtain professional service for accounting and tax functions. In the meanwhile, the Foundation was operated only by volunteer members of the Board of Directors. The Board misunderstood the timing and status of the organization's 2014 filings. This was an error but was not willful neglect; the Board discussed this need to prepare the tax filing but simply misunderstood the status and deadline. Upon receiving notice of the correct status and deadline, the volunteers Board compiled the necessary information and commenced preparation of this form. For future filings, the Foundation intends to rely upon professionals to ensure that the Board understands the deadline and satisfies it.ExplanationTxt
