Because the 990-EZ requires more detailed financial reporting, we needed additional time to analyze our records to ensure the information was complete and accurate. Once we determined that more time was required, we submitted the extension request. The delay resulted from our effort to provide a correct and thorough filing, and we have taken steps to ensure timely extensions and filings in the future.
