Late filing penalty assessed for the year ended 08/31/2015. Penalty notice attached. Dear Service Center Representative: I am writing on behalf of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States Inc dba South East Region Volleyball in response to the penalty notice received for the tax year ended 08/31/2015. The Organization believes it has reasonable cause for filing late and is hereby requesting that the IRS abate the late-filing penalties. The Volleyball club was formed in 2013 for the purpose of supporting local girls and boys with an affordable travel volleyball league in the city of Chesapeake, VA where a club had not been formed prior. We keep computerized accounting records and file 1096 for our contracted coaching staff and have filed a postcard in the past. We thought that by doing so we were in compliance with the law and believed we were acting responsibly. We had no knowledge of the requirement to file Form 990 as no one has any experience with tax matters. In June 2016 we received a letter stating the 990 had not been received. It was then that we learned of the requirement to file Form 990 and that we had missed the deadline for the 2015 return. Right away we took steps to complete the 990 on a nonprofit website called form 990 online. No extension of time to file Form 990 was requested because we were not aware of the requirement to file the return. By the time the letter was received it was too late to file an extension. We believe we have reasonable cause for filing late because we are a very small membership organization and honestly did not know about the requirement to file Form 990. This was the first time we were required to file this type of return. As soon as we discovered our error, we immediately prepared and filed the return, thereby demonstrating that we acted responsibly and in good faith. We believe this demonstrates that we did not willfully neglect our filing requirement. To prevent future late filings we have placed the due date of the Form 990 on the calendar of the board of directors, and all new board members are educated on all the annual filing requirements that pertain to the organization. We respectfully request that the IRS abate all assessed penalties and interest related to our 2015 Form 990. Thank you for considering our request. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that the facts presented here, to the best of my knowledge and belief, are true, correct, and complete.
