Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

“The treasurer assumes responsibility and oversees and reviews the audited financial statements and the form 990 before they are filed.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART IV, LINE 2B:

“The society holds securities which are managed by the society for the massachusetts convention of congregational ministers before distribution to beneficiaries. Such principal and income amounts received, less amounts distributed, are reported as custodial funds.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The society recognizes the tax benefit from any uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the tax position. Any tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. Management has analyzed the society's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open years (2012-2014) or expected to be taken in the society's 2015 tax returns. The society identifies its major tax jurisdictions as u.s. Federal and the commonwealth of massachusetts; however, the society is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The society also follows the policy to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits (if any) in income tax expense. No such interest and penalties have been recorded as of march 31, 2016 and 2015.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE SOCIETY HOLDS SECURITIES WHICH ARE MANAGED BY THE SOCIETY FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS CONVENTION OF CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS BEFORE DISTRIBUTION TO BENEFICIARIES. SUCH PRINCIPAL AND INCOME AMOUNTS RECEIVED, LESS AMOUNTS DISTRIBUTED, ARE REPORTED AS CUSTODIAL FUNDS.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE SOCIETY RECOGNIZES THE TAX BENEFIT FROM ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE TAX POSITION. ANY TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE RESOLUTION. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE SOCIETY'S TAX POSITIONS, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT NO LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS SHOULD BE RECORDED RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN ON RETURNS FILED FOR OPEN YEARS (2012-2014) OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE SOCIETY'S 2015 TAX RETURNS. THE SOCIETY IDENTIFIES ITS MAJOR TAX JURISDICTIONS AS U.S. FEDERAL AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS; HOWEVER, THE SOCIETY IS NOT AWARE OF ANY TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH IT IS REASONABLY POSSIBLE THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNTS OF UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS WILL CHANGE MATERIALLY IN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. THE SOCIETY ALSO FOLLOWS THE POLICY TO RECOGNIZE INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS (IF ANY) IN INCOME TAX EXPENSE. NO SUCH INTEREST AND PENALTIES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AS OF MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015.
