Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The asc accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires entities to disclose in their financial statements the nature of any uncertainty in their tax position. The organization implemented this policy and its current accounting policy for evaluating uncertain tax positions is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The organization has not recognized any benefits from uncertain tax positions in 2019 and believes it has no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the statement of financial position date of december 31, 2019. Generally, federal, state and local authorities may examine the organization's tax returns for three years from the date of filing; consequently, income tax returns for years prior to 2016 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities.
