Reasonable Cause Explanation ReasonableCauseExplanation

FieldValueIRS element (for citing)
ExplanationUnidos Por Ecuador of Central Florida respectfully requests consideration for reasonable cause relief regarding the late filing of its 2023 Form 990-EZ. During the 2023 and 2024 periods, the organization experienced administrative and financial recordkeeping challenges related to limited volunteer capacity, transitions in financial oversight, and delays in compiling accurate accounting records necessary to complete the return. As a small community-based nonprofit organization operated primarily through volunteer efforts, additional time was required to reconcile financial activity, review prior-year records, and ensure the return was prepared accurately and completely. Upon identifying the filing delinquency, the organization took corrective action to reconstruct and review its financial records and prepare the required filing as promptly as possible. The organization is also implementing improved recordkeeping and compliance procedures to help ensure timely filings going forward. The organization respectfully requests that any penalties associated with the late filing be waived based on reasonable cause.ExplanationTxt
