Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“The Organization is a not-for-profit organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from federal income taxes pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The organization is also exempt from Pennsylvania taxation under the applicable provisions of the commonwealth's non-profit organization statutes. US GAAP requires entities to evaluate, measure, recognize and disclose any uncertain income tax positions taken on their income tax returns. Management has evaluated the impact of this standard on its financial statements and believes that there are no uncertain tax positions. The income tax returns of Mighty Writers for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services and other various taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed. The Organization recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as a miscellaneous expense. There were no income tax related interest and penalties recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.”
