Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationI had planned to complete this return while on a trip to Alaska Aug 7-17, I had all my records with me, but I could not get consistent continuous internet service from the ship or remote hotels to access the online 990 service we use. Toward the end of the trip I got sick and was laid up for ten days, so I could not work on this until about Aug 25. I have worked on it since then and finished Sept 2. I respectfully ask that you waive as much of the penalties as possible.ExplanationTxt
