ExplanationDEAR AGENT:I AM A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSISTING THE TAXPAYER WITH THE PREPARATION AND FILING OF THE RETURN AT ISSUE.DURING THE RELEVANT PERIOD, I WAS UNDERGOING TREATMENT FOR STAGE IV COLORECTAL CANCER WITH METASTATIC DISEASE TO THE LIVER. MY TREATMENT INCLUDED MAJOR SURGERY, ONGOING CHEMOTHERAPY, FREQUENT MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, TESTING, AND RECOVERY PERIODS. THE CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OF THE ILLNESS AND TREATMENT SUBSTANTIALLY LIMITED MY ABILITY TO PERFORM MY NORMAL PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES.AS A RESULT OF THESE EXTRAORDINARY MEDICAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE AND OVERSIGHT THAT I ORDINARILY PROVIDE TO MY CLIENTS. THE DELAY WAS NOT INTENTIONAL AND WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO MY MEDICAL CONDITION AND TREATMENT.I HAVE ATTACHED SUPPORTING MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION VERIFYING THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PERIOD. I RESPECTFULLY PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION IN SUPPORT OF THE TAXPAYER'S REQUEST FOR REASONABLE CAUSE RELIEF.SINCERELY,ERIN JOSEPH HAROLD, CPAExplanationTxt
