“The Organization has evaluated its tax positions for all open tax years. Currently, the tax years open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service are the 2018, 2017, and 2016 tax years. However, the organization is not currently under audit nor has the organization been contacted by any jurisdiction. Based on the evaluation of the organizations tax positions, management believes all tax positions taken would be upheld under examination. Therefore, no provisions for the effects of uncertain tax positions have been recorded for the year ended September 30, 2020. Further, no interest or penalties have been accrued or charged to expense as of September 30, 2020.”
