Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C:

“The audit process has not changed from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Partnership is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes within the financial statements. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. The Partnership has evaluated the positions taken on its filed tax returns and has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist at June 30, 2017.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Partnership is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes within the financial statements. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. The Partnership has evaluated the positions taken on its filed tax returns and has concluded no uncertain income tax positions exist at June 30, 2017.
