“NMMF, a California not-for-profit corporation, is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and 23701(d) of the State Revenue and Taxation Code. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification No. 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, which sets a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. NMMF has reviewed its positions for all open tax years and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual or disclosure.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | NMMF, a California not-for-profit corporation, is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and 23701(d) of the State Revenue and Taxation Code. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification No. 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, which sets a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. NMMF has reviewed its positions for all open tax years and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual or disclosure. |
