Upon receipt of Notice CP259A the organization discovered that the extension had not been filed and that the responsible individual was no longer with the organization. The organization acted promptly to complete and file the return upon discovery of the issue. This return is being filed prior to May 15 2026 the date the return would have been due had the extension been properly filed. The failure to file the extension timely was not due to willful neglect but resulted from reliance on an internal responsible party. The organization has since implemented additional controls to ensure timely compliance going forward. The organization respectfully requests abatement of any penalties based on reasonable cause.
