During this transitional period, there was miscommunication regarding the annual tax and extension filing process, which led to a late submission of the extension request. Historically, the Organization files for extensions both in May and again in August due to lagging transactions stemming from our 3 regional conferences. However, due to the misunderstanding of when the extension should have been filed this year, the Organization failed to submit an extension request by May 15. The Board of Directors has taken actions to mitigate the situation and to ensure that future filings (e.g., extensions, returns, and otherwise) will be met. The Board of Directors has drafted a revised set of bylaws to include more defined responsibilities of the role of Treasurer. Due to the significant impact any failures to fulfill the responsibilities of Treasurer would have on the Organization, a handbook is also being developed to document the specific duties of Treasurer for any future transitions. The Organization is supported entirely by volunteers from the Board of Directors-level for oversight of the ITASA National Board (comprised solely of students across the country) that manages the day-to-day operations of the organization. As a student-run non-profit organization, we have limited financial resources and this penalty will have a significant impact on the future of the Organization and the 10,000 students that rely on ITASA annually. The Organization has been operating in good faith and will continue to work with the IRS to resolve this and any other issues. We apologize again and we thank you for your consideration.
