Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:
“Change in accumulated post retirement benefit obligation -212,860.”
Financial Statement Notes
PART III, LINE 1A:
“Collections whether purchased or contributed are not capitalized by the library. The library also does not capitalize repairs or improvements to inexhaustible collections. All purchases of collection items and repairs or improvements to inexhaustible collections are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired, or as temporarily restricted net assets, if the assets used to purchase the items were restricted by donors.”
PART X, LINE 2:
“For purposes of the footnote below, the library refers to providence public library and the foundation refers to the related organization providence public library foundation, referenced in sch r, part ii. The library and foundation are public charities exempt from income tax in accordance with section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Management believes that the library and the foundation both operate in a manner consistent with their tax-exempt status at both the state and federal level. Authoritative guidance requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the organization's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more likely than not" to be sustained by the applicable taxing authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more likely than not" threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The library and foundation annually file irs form 990 - return of organization exempt from income tax, reporting various information that the irs uses to monitor the activities of tax-exempt entities. The library also files irs form 990-t - exempt organization's business income tax return, for all of its taxable transactions. These tax returns are subject to review by the taxing authorities generally for three years after they were filed. The federal income tax returns for 2011, 2012, and 2013 are subject to examination by the taxing authorities, generally for a period of three years after they are filed. The library and the foundation currently have no tax examinations in progress.”

AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE REQUIRES THE EVALUATION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE COURSE OF PREPARING THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX RETURNS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE TAX POSITIONS ARE "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY. TAX POSITIONS NOT DEEMED TO MEET THE "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD WOULD BE RECORDED AS A TAX BENEFIT OR EXPENSE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. THE LIBRARY AND FOUNDATION ANNUALLY FILE IRS FORM 990 - RETURN OF ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX, REPORTING VARIOUS INFORMATION THAT THE IRS USES TO MONITOR THE ACTIVITIES OF TAX-EXEMPT ENTITIES. THE LIBRARY ALSO FILES IRS FORM 990-T - EXEMPT ORGANIZATION'S BUSINESS INCOME TAX RETURN, FOR ALL OF ITS TAXABLE TRANSACTIONS. THESE TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO REVIEW BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES GENERALLY FOR THREE YEARS AFTER THEY WERE FILED. THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR 2011, 2012, AND 2013 ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES, GENERALLY FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS AFTER THEY ARE FILED. THE LIBRARY AND THE FOUNDATION CURRENTLY HAVE NO TAX EXAMINATIONS IN PROGRESS. |
