About

The Foundation's tax preparer is located in Nassau County, NY, which, per IRS release NY-2021-01 announced on September 9, 2021, is included in the list of localities that constitute a covered disaster area for purposes of Treas. Reg. Sec. 301.7508A-1(d)(2) and are entitled to tax relief due to Hurricane Ida. Additional time was needed to calculate and transmit the tax payment. Therefore, Form 2220 indicates that the Q2 or Q3 estimated tax payment made on or before the extended deadline of February 15, 2022 was, in fact, made timely on the original due date of such payment. We respectfully request that no late payment penalties be assessed in connection with such payment(s) per Treas. Reg. Sec. 301.7508A-1(c)(1).
