Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 8B

“The organization has no committees with authority to act on behalf of the Governing Body.”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“Prior to filing, a complete copy of the Form 990 is sent to the Sargasso Sea Project, Inc. Board of Directors for approval.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“The organization requires individuals to report when a conflict of interest arises, and has a policy requiring annual disclosure and monitoring.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“The organization is exempt from income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) and applicable DC statutes. No provision for income taxes is required at December 31, 2024, as the organization had no net unrelated business income. The organization follows FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes (formerly FIN 48) the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements and prescribe a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and de-recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2024, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of December 31, 2024, the statute of limitations for the tax years 2021 through 2023 remains open with federal, DC and NY authorities.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The organization is exempt from income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) and applicable DC statutes. No provision for income taxes is required at December 31, 2024, as the organization had no net unrelated business income. The organization follows FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes (formerly FIN 48) the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements and prescribe a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and de-recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2024, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of December 31, 2024, the statute of limitations for the tax years 2021 through 2023 remains open with federal, DC and NY authorities.
