Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The lutheran public radio has adopted the provisions of fasb asc 740-10-25 (formerly fasb interpretation no. 48, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes - an interpretation of fasb no. 109) requiring disclosure of uncertain tax positions. There has been no interest or penalties recognized in the statement of assets, liabilities, and net assets nor in the statement of support and expenses, related to uncertain tax positions. In addition, no tax positions exist for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. The only tax years open for irs purposes as of december 31, 2024 are the past three ended december 31, 2023, 2022,and 2021. The lutheran public radio, inc. Evaluates any uncertain tax positions on a continual basis through review of its policies and procedures and discussions with outside experts.”
