Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

ExplanationChapter 127 has not been required to file a 990EZ form until calendar year 2024. The association had filed 990N post cards in prior years. Adding to the confusion was the Gross Receipts Test, specifically Test 2, the $60,000 threshold. The association did not realize the age consideration of the first 1-3 years. which clearly has passed. When Chapter 127 was informed the 990N postcard was not an option, they reached out. Once we connected we have been able to complete the return in a timely manner and has begun preparing for the 2025 return. Thank You for all your considerations to excuse penalties, fines, and interest due to the late filing.ExplanationTxt
