Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization follows fasb asc 740 on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as it relates to uncertain tax positions. For all tax positions taken by the organization, management believes it is clear that the likelihood is greater than 50% that the full amount of the tax positions taken will be ultimately realized. Therefore, management believes that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns for the three most recent years filed, or expected to be taken in the organization's tax return. The organization identifies its major tax jurisdiction's as the u.s. Federal and the state of tennessee. However, the organization is not currently under audit nor has the organization been contacted by any of these jurisdictions. As of december 31, 2023 and 2022, the organization has accrued no interest and no penalties related to uncertain tax positions.”
