Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The System files Form 990 Return of Organizations Exempt From Income Tax. The System has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 and as a result has identified its exemption from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) as a tax position which falls within the scope of this FASB ASC section. The System does not believe this tax position will result in any change to its financial position. These returns are subject to examination by tax jurisdictions (generally for three years from the filing date), and as a result, returns for the years subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020 remain subject to examination. No interest or penalties related to income taxes have been recognized in the Statement of Financial Position or Statement of Activities.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The System files Form 990 Return of Organizations Exempt From Income Tax. The System has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 and as a result has identified its exemption from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) as a tax position which falls within the scope of this FASB ASC section. The System does not believe this tax position will result in any change to its financial position. These returns are subject to examination by tax jurisdictions (generally for three years from the filing date), and as a result, returns for the years subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2020 remain subject to examination. No interest or penalties related to income taxes have been recognized in the Statement of Financial Position or Statement of Activities.
