Financial Statement Notes

X 2

“The foundation is exempt from federal income tax under section 501c3 of the internal revenue code. In addition, the foundation qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170b1a and has been classified as a foundation that is not a private foundation. The foundation had no tax liability on unrelated business income during the year ended december 31, 2021. Management has evaluated the tax positions of the foundation and does not believe that any uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits exist for the year ended december 31, 2021. The foundations policy is to report accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits, when applicable, as interest expense and to report penalties as other expense. Effective january 1, 2009, the foundation implemented the accounting guidance for uncertainty with income taxes using the provisions of fasb asc 740. Using the guidance, tax provisions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of december 31, 2021, the foundation had no uncertain tax positions, interest or penalties that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing authorities however, there are currently no audits in progress.”
