The Andy Bruce Foundation
EIN 844485845About
The Andy Bruce Foundation (EIN: 84-4485845) respectfully requests abatement of any penalties for late filing of Form 990-PF for taxable year ending December 31, 2020 because the delay was inadvertent, unintended, and due to reasonable causes. Treasury Regulations Section 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 prepare its Form 990-PF for tax period ending 12/31/2020. The Foundation's 2020 Form 990-PF short period initial return was timely filed on May 5, 2021. The return was originally mailed to the IRS, but was returned along with a notice instructing the Foundation to submit the return electronically. The Foundation's administrator advised the Foundation to submit the return for paper filing initially because at the time the return was filed, the administrator's tax software was unable to transmit short period initial returns via e-file. It wasn't until the Foundation received an IRS notice dated October 27, 2021, that the administrator became aware that the IRS now accepts short period initial returns via e-file and that the software's capability had been updated. The foundation's administrator is now submitting the return via e-file, and the delay in filing Form 990-PF for the taxable year ending 2020 is no fault or willful neglect of the foundation. According to the standards set forth in Rev. Proc. 92-85, we believe the Foundation's actions were reasonable and in good faith. These administrative actions were in no way an intentional disregard of the IRS rules and therefore entitled to abatement of any penalty. The organization acted in good faith in complying with the filing deadline and in rectifying the situation as soon as it was known. Therefore, we again request that no penalty be assessed for late filing.
