“The Organization has adopted the application of the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes). The primary tax positions made by the Organization are the existence/non-existence of Unrelated Business Income Tax and the Organizations status as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization currently evaluates all tax positions, and makes determinations regarding the likelihood of those positions being upheld under review. For the years presented, and as a result of adoption, the Organization has not recognized any tax benefits or loss contingencies for uncertain tax positions based on its evaluations. The Organizations Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ending June 30, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are subject to examination by the IRS. Returns are generally subject to examination for three years after they are filed.”
