“- ecoRI, Inc. is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, ecoRI, Inc. may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of ecoRI, Inc. and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the year ending December 31, 2023. ecoRI, Inc. is required to file Form 990 Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) up to three years from the extended due date of the tax return. ecoRI, Inc. is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before the year ended December 31, 2020.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | - ecoRI, Inc. is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, ecoRI, Inc. may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of ecoRI, Inc. and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the year ending December 31, 2023. ecoRI, Inc. is required to file Form 990 Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) up to three years from the extended due date of the tax return. ecoRI, Inc. is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before the year ended December 31, 2020. |
