I am writing to request that the failure to file and pay Mixtape Dance MN's first annual tax return on time be abated for reasonable cause. Specifically when I filed Mixtape Dance MN's 1023 form requesting tax-exempt status as a nonprofit organization I erroneously failed to request that the organization be classified as a public charity. As a result Mixtape Dance MN was classified as a private foundation. After speaking with potential funders and reviewing the applicable regulations I realized my error. I also determined that Mixtape Dance MN has in fact been a public charity pursuant to Sections 509a1 and 170b1Avi since its inception on April 21 2022. As a result on March 11 2024 I filed a 8940 form requesting Mixtape Dance MN be reclassified as a public charity since its inception. I am awaiting a response from the IRS on my 8940 reclassification request. I am now filing a 990PF for 2022 to avoid incurring any additional fees and penalties and to ensure MIXTAPE Dance MN complies with its federal and state tax filing obligations. There is a reasonable cause for my late filing because it took me some time to realize my error and then determine the correct course of action and engage professional help to ensure I was taking the proper steps to ensure Mixtape Dance MN is properly classified as a public charity nonprofit organization. I have now determined the correct course of action for filing Mixtape Dance MN's annual tax returns in a timely manner so this mistake will not happen again. Based on the foregoing I am respectfully requesting abatement of all penalties and fines assessed against Mixtape Dance MN for failing to file its first annual return by the due date. If you have any questions or need any additional information please feel free to contact me at 651-707-6907 or mixtapedance@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I swear under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
