About

The Foundation's administrator initially mailed a request to update the Foundation's name in the Internal Revenue Service's (the "Service") database in advance of the quarterly estimated tax deadlines. Due to the IRS' backlog and through no fault of the Foundation, the name change request was not processed timely which prevented the Foundation from being able to enroll in EFTPS to make quarterly payments. Once the name was updated on the account by the Service, the Foundation submitted its required payments. Form 2220 was prepared as if the name change had been acknowledged and reports the quarterly estimated tax payments as made timely by the original due dates of such payments. According to the standards set forth in Rev. Proc. 92-85, we believe the Foundation's actions were reasonable and in good faith. We respectfully request that no underpayment penalties of quarterly estimated taxes be assessed in connection with such payments
