“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america prescribes the threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The tax-exempt status of an entity at the federal and state level is considered a tax position. An additional liability for uncertain tax positions (utps) is recognized and recorded as a component of current income tax expense for differences between financial and income tax reporting positions which do not meet the threshold. Any interest and penalties related to utps are recorded as a component of income tax expense. The foundation believes it has not taken any tax positions, including any tax positions that would jeopardize the tax exempt status, which would have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its financial statements and thus has not recorded a liability at february 29, 2020 or february 28, 2019. The foundation files tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions. The foundation is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2016. Currently, there are no income tax audits in process. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. For the foundation, these differences relate principally to the expected benefits of the net operating losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.”
