Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Tax position: the association currently evaluates all tax positions, and makes a determination regarding the likelihood of those positions being upheld under review. The primary tax positions made by the association are the existence of unrelated business income tax and the association's status as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. For the years presented, the association has not recognized any tax benefits or loss contingencies for uncertain tax positions based on this evaluation.”
