Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“This process has not changed from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“No provision for federal taxes on income has been included in the accounts since beginnings, inc. Is exempt from federal income tax as an organization described in section 501 (c)(3) of the internal revenue code. In addition, the organization has been determined by the internal revenue service not to be a "private foundation" within the meaning of section 509(a) of the internal revenue code. There was no unrelated business income for the current year. The organization adopted fasb interpretation no. 48 (fin 48), accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as codified in fasb asc 740-10. The codified interpretation requires the organization to evaluate tax positions taken and determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The organization has performed an evaluation and has determined there are no material unrecognized tax positions or uncertain tax positions that meet the reporting and disclosure provisions of fin 48. The organization records tax penalties and interest as they occur. For the current year, the organization incurred no tax penalty or interest costs. With certain exceptions, the federal income tax returns of the company for 2014, 2015, and 2016 are subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed.”
