Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a nonprofit corporation as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes. As a result, no provision for income taxes is presented in these financial statements. However, in certain circumstances, the organization may be subject to federal and state income taxes for profits generated from unrelated trade or business income. The organization has determined that it does not have any liabilities associated with unrelated trade or business income. The organization assesses the recording of uncertain tax positions by evaluating the minimum recognition threshold and measurement requirements a tax position must meet before being recognized as a benefit in the financial statements. The organization's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, if any, in its statements of activities.”
