“Fin 48 (asc 740) footnote the college generally does not provide for income taxes since it is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Accounting standards codification (asc) 740, income taxes, permits an entity to recognize the benefit and requires accrual of an uncertain tax position only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained in the event of examination by tax authorities. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold, the college must presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Asc 740 also provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest or penalties. Tax positions deemed to meet the "more likely than not" threshold are recorded as a tax expense in the current year.
