Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The process has not changed from the prior year”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The agency is recognized as an organization exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the "code") whereby only unrelated business income, as defined by section 512(a)(1) of the code, is subject to federal income tax. In addition, the agency has been determined by the internal revenue service not to be a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the code. The agency recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax positions in accordance with fasb asc 740, income taxes. Under that guidance the agency assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax positions is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions are classified as additional income taxes in the combined statement of activities. The agency did not identify any uncertain tax positions in 2024 or 2023. The agency is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.”
