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 the fasb asc. 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 2017, 2018, and 2019 are subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed.”
