Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The foundation is a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the state of florida and is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. As such, the foundation is subject to income taxes on its unrelated business income, which is primarily income from gaming activities at fundraising events. Unrelated business income tax is reported net of fundraising events revenue in the accompanying statements of activities. For the years ended december 31, 2023 and 2022, federal and state unrelated business income tax was approximately $404,000 and $246,000, respectively. The internal revenue code provides for taxation of unrelated business income under certain circumstances. However, such status is subject to final determination upon examination of the related income tax returns by the appropriate taxing authorities. The foundation follows the guidance provided for in financial accounting standards board ("fasb") accounting standards codification ("asc") topic 740, income taxes. The guidance provided by asc topic 740 includes accounting requirements relating to uncertainty in income taxes. As of december 31, 2023, management does not believe it has taken any tax positions that are subject to a significant degree of uncertainty. When applicable, the foundation's policy is to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of tax expense. No penalties or interest were recognized in 2023 or 2022. The foundation's income tax filings are subject to examination by the internal revenue service generally for three years after they were filed. Tax filings for years after 2019 remain open for examination.”
