Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The commission is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and similar state income tax laws. The commission is also classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) and contributions to the commission qualify for charitable tax deductions by the donor. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the commission and recognize a tax liability or asset if the organization has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Any interest and penalties associated with the tax position would also be recognized in the financial statements. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the commission and concluded that as of march 31, 2016 and 2015, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken.”

Schedule D, Page 4, Part XIII

“The commission is subject to routine audits by the internal revenue service ans state jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress nor is any audit pending. Management believes it is no longer subject to examinations of its tax returns for years prior to 2013.”
