About

THE TAXPAYER IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING THE IRS WAIVE ALL PENALTIES AND INTEREST ASSESSED REGARDING THIS TAX RETURN AND THE DATE OF ITS FILING, BASED UPON THE EXPLANATION BELOW.THE TAXPAYER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE REGISTRY OF CHARITABLE TRUSTS OF CALIFORNIA STATING THE 2020 AND 2021 FORM RRF-1, ALONG WITH THE 990PF, HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED FOR EITHER YEARS (LETTER ATTACHED). THIS WAS QUITE A SHOCK TO THE TAXPAYER.THE PRIOR CPA WAS ENGAGED TO PREPARE THE 2021 (FYE 9/30/22) TAX RETURN FOR THE ORGANIZATION BUT APPARENTLY IT WAS NEVER FILED. THE CLIENT WAS CHARGED FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE RETURN, SO THE TAXPAYER ASSUMED IT WAS TIMELY FILED.AS SUCH, SINE THE TAXPAYER ASSUMED THE RETURN WAS FILED, THAT NOTHING WAS OUT OF ORDER. THEN, THE TAXPAYER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE REGISTRY OF CHARITABLE TRUSTS OF CALIFORNIA STATING THE 2020 AND 2021 FORM RRF-1, ALONG WITH THE 990PF, HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED. FRUSTRATION WITH THE PRIOR CPA LED THE TAXPAYER TO HIRE A NEW CPA. THE NEWLY HIRED CPA, HAS PREPARED THE RETURNS AND IS E-FILING THESE RETURNS FORTHWITH.BASED UPON THE ABOVE, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE TAXPAYER WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT THE RETURNS HAD NOT BEEN TIMELY FILED. THE TAXPAYER IS REMITTING THE TAX DUE IN THE AMOUNT OF $112, BUT BASED UPON THE ABOVE EXPLANATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES INVOLVED, THE TAXPAYER RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS THE IRS WAIVE THE PENALTIES PURSUANT TO THE DOCTRINE OF REASONABLE CAUSE UNDER IRC SECTION 6652 (A)(C)(4) SHOWN BELOW:"(4) REASONABLE CAUSE EXCEPTION NO PENALTY SHALL BE IMPOSED UNDER THIS SUBSECTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY FAILURE IF IT IS SHOWN THAT SUCH FAILURE IS DUE TO REASONABLE CAUSE."
