Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:
“The organization has not made any changes to the process from the prior year.”
Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The organization has adopted the guidance in the fasb codification topic related to uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that the organization has taken or expects to take in its tax returns. Under the guidance, the organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more likely than not" that it is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its returns.”
