“The internal revenue service has recognized the foundation as exempt from income taxes under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3). The foundation files a form 990 (return of organization exempt from income tax) annually. When the returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the tax position taken or the amount of the position that would ultimately be sustained. Examples of tax positions common to nonprofit organizations include such matters as the following: the tax exempt status of each entity and various positions relative to potential sources of unrelated business income (ubi). Ubi is reported on form 990t, as appropriate. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized on settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying statement of financial position along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. As of june 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no uncertain tax benefits identified and recorded as a liability. The form 990 filed by the foundation is subject to examination by the internal revenue service (irs) up to three years from the original due date or extended filed date whichever is later for each return. The form 990 filed by the foundation is no longer subject to examination for the years ended june 30, 2012 and prior.”
