About
THE SOSLAND FOUNDATION ("THE FOUNDATION") 990PF IS BEING FILED LATE DUE TO A FEDERAL YEAR-END DATE ISSUE THAT WAS THROUGH NO CAUSE OF THE FOUNDATION. THE FEDERAL YEAR END DATE WAS CHANGED TO 01/31 IN THE SYSTEM DESPITE ALL FILINGS AND EXTENSIONS SHOWING 12/31 AS THE PROPER YEAR END. WITH THE YEAR-END CHANGE, THE FOUNDATION 990PF WAS UNABLE TO BE ELECTRONICALLY FILED TIMELY. MULTIPLE CALLS WERE PLACED AND LETTERS SENT TO THE IRS TO REMEDY THE ERROR. THE LAST LETTER INCLUDED A FULL COPY OF THE 2023 990PF FILING. THE FOUNDATION WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE YEAR-END DATE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED BY A LETTER DATED MARCH 31, 2025, BUT WITH NO OTHER COMMUNICATION ON FILINGS. THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED AN E-FILING NOTICE ON MAY 29, 2025 THAT WAS DATED MAY 20, 2025, AND SUBSEQUENTLY SUBMITTED THE RETURN VIA E-FILE. WE KINDLY ASK THAT ALL PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE ABATED AS THE ELECTRONICALLY AND TIMELY FILED ISSUE WAS THROUGH NO FAULT OF THE FOUNDATION.
