To be fair, is it standard operating procedure for "non profits" to request extensions, the way many for profit privately held corporations do, and many individuals with complex returns, or is it not? In other words, is this outfit an outlier, among its peer group?

I have no idea.

But, I could easily understand how an underfinanced startup grassroots org, especially one that is enjoying a measure of success, could have a hard time meeting deadlines. It's not like they're an org that has been around for decades and has tens of millions flowing in every year. They don't have the luxury of having an office building in DC full of accountants and lawyers.

Remember, the FEC and IRS rules are constructed by incumbents and established lobbyists. One of their primary goals is to restrict the competition.

Any organization large or small should be able to afford one computer and a working copy of Quicken. It's not like it's the year 1995 and desktop computers cost $4500 each.

So how do you file any "donations" that your little entities receive (listed above) that go to that PO Box in Iowa? LOL.

It surely sucks to be you.

Fair point, perhaps, if the peer group of startups in a growth mode tends to be late. I take it you have no personal knowledge of this matter, and are not in a position to inquire on this subject, and that is why you cannot elaborate on the particulars. Is that a correct assumption? But isn't one of these outfits yours, or I am confused? I have not followed this stuff very closely, and the charges and counter charges for one disengaged get muddled in my mind. I just dropped by to say hello as it were, and perhaps to reduce the noise level a bit, to the extent that is justified.

Isn't that why Simcox brought in the alleged "professionals?" Now, if those "professionals" have problems meeting those requirements, despite charging various service fees for allegedly doing so, that's another problem.
