Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Massachusetts independent certification, inc. Is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(a) of the internal revenue code as an organization described in section 501(c)(3). The organization has also been classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) and qualifies for deductible contributions. The organization follows fasb asc 740-10, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Fasb asc 740-10 did not have a material impact on mici's financial statements. The organization's federal form 990 (return of organization exempt from income tax) is subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed. The organization recognizes interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties that are included within reported expenses. During the year ended december 31, 2015, the organization had no interest or penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.”
