“Line 11a explanation - the form 990 is reviewed by the signing officer prior to filing.”
“AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.”
“The organization has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If the organization was to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax liability wold be reported as income taxes. The organization's conclusions regarding uncertain income tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upoon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors. Generally, federal, state and local authorities may examine the organization's tax returns for three years from the date of filing; consequently, the respective tax returns for years prior to 2013 are no longer subject to examination.”
