Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Corporation is a nonprofit organization which is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Income unrelated to the Organization's exempt purpose would be subject to federal and state income taxes. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") require management to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability (or assets) if the Corporation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken and concluded that as of June 30, 2017, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. Independence Public Media is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management does not believe there is any unrelated business income.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Corporation is a nonprofit organization which is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Income unrelated to the Organization's exempt purpose would be subject to federal and state income taxes. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") require management to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability (or assets) if the Corporation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken and concluded that as of June 30, 2017, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. Independence Public Media is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management does not believe there is any unrelated business income.
