About

We respectfully request that the Foundation's quarterly estimated tax payments be treated as timely and request that no underpayment penalties be assessed because the payment delay was due to reasonable cause. Treasury Regulations SEC. 301.6651-1(c)(1) defines reasonable cause by asking whether the taxpayer exercised ordinary business care and prudence. The Foundation exercised care and prudence in seeking a reputable firm knowledgeable about exempt organizations to submit a payment in a timely fashion for Form 990-PF. Unbeknownst to the Foundation, its administrator inadvertently did not enroll the Foundation in EFTPS in time to make timely quarterly payments. Once this error was discovered, the Foundation was enrolled in EFTPS and the required payment was made. Form 2220 reports the quarterly estimated tax payment as made timely as if the error did not occur, since this was through no fault of the Foundation. The administrator has updated its policies and procedures to ensure that this will not occur in the future. According to the standards set forth in Rev. Proc. 92-85, we believe the Foundation's and its administrator's actions were reasonable and in good faith. The delay in submitting the quarterly estimate was not in any way due to an intentional disregard of IRS rules but rather a clerical error. Therefore, we believe the Foundation is entitled to abatement of any penalty.
