Spoke w/ someone from IRS last week. Was given the information for the correspondence unit in order to get copy of letter detailing which information is missing from our application.
Expect a written response within 60 days.
Per IRS best path forward to is to re-apply via form 1024.
Requires submitting $600 processing fee again
Previous treasurer Jackie Lin has already sent an appeal to avoid re-submitting this fee, may be a fruitless process to pursue at this point
