PART III, LINE 4:

“Library collection: the organization has a collection of library materials, including books, periodicals and other items to be used in educational conferences to increase public appreciation for humanism and skepticism.”

PART V, LINE 4:

“The endowment funds are held by the center for inquiry development fund, a related organization. The funds are used to promote the center for inquiry, inc. Mission and program activities.”

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 organization. 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 2014 through 2017 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.”
