Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, and is exempt from state income taxes under chapter 180 of the massachusetts general laws. Unrelated business income, of which there was none for 2016, would be subject to federal and state income taxes. Consequently, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect any provision for income taxes. The organization evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, along with accrued interest and penalty thereon would be recorded as an expense in the current year financial statements. At december 31, 2016, the organization believes that it has no uncertain tax positions within any of its open tax years.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND IS EXEMPT FROM STATE INCOME TAXES UNDER CHAPTER 180 OF THE MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAWS. UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, OF WHICH THERE WAS NONE FOR 2016, WOULD BE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES.

THE ORGANIZATION EVALUATES TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN ITS TAX RETURNS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE TAX POSITIONS ARE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED BY THE APPLICABLE TAX AUTHORITY. TAX POSITIONS NOT DEEMED TO MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD, ALONG WITH ACCRUED INTEREST AND PENALTY THEREON WOULD BE RECORDED AS AN EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. AT DECEMBER 31, 2016, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT IT HAS NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS WITHIN ANY OF ITS OPEN TAX YEARS.
