Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“To support the activities and purposes of the center for inquiry, inc.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Uncertain tax positions the organization is exempt from taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. It is highly certain that some positions taken for income tax purposes would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements only to the extent that an uncertain tax position, if any, is attributable to the organizations. Management continually evaluates its tax positions and, as a result of this evaluation, nothing has been reported in the consolidated financial statements as management does not consider the financial effects of uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, to have a direct and material effect on the determination of consolidated financial statement amounts taken as a whole. The tax returns for 2013 through 2016 remain subject to examination by the internal revenue service for u.s. Federal tax purposes and also by new york state for state tax purposes.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Revenue of affiliated organizations consolidated for financial statements 4,018,355.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Expenses of affiliated organizations consolidated for financial statements 4,764,610.”
