Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Pt 1 Line 5 and Form 990 Part V Line 2A

As a charter school in the state of delaware, first state montessori academy, inc. Is considered a component unit of the state, and therefore does not directly employ its staff. All staff members of the school are considered employees of the state of delaware. For the 2014-2015 school year, there were 33 employees working at the school.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

No provision has been made for income taxes since the school qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under the internal revenue code, section 501(c)(3), and its activities do not result in any income tax liability. Generally accepted accounting principles prescribe rules for the recognition, measurement, classification, and disclosure in the financial statements of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the school's tax returns. Management has determined that the school does not have any uncertain tax positions or associated unrecognized benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. Since tax matters are subject to some degree of uncertainty, there can be no assurance that the school's tax returns will not be challenged by the taxing authorities and that the school will not be subject to additional tax, penalties, and interest as a result of such challenge. The income tax return of the school for 2014 is subject to examination by tax authorities, generally for three years after it was filed.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0NO PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE FOR INCOME TAXES SINCE THE SCHOOL QUALIFIES AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, SECTION 501(C)(3), AND ITS ACTIVITIES DO NOT RESULT IN ANY INCOME TAX LIABILITY. GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES PRESCRIBE RULES FOR THE RECOGNITION, MEASUREMENT, CLASSIFICATION, AND DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE SCHOOL'S TAX RETURNS. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THE SCHOOL DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS OR ASSOCIATED UNRECOGNIZED BENEFITS THAT MATERIALLY IMPACT THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR RELATED DISCLOSURES. SINCE TAX MATTERS ARE SUBJECT TO SOME DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE SCHOOL'S TAX RETURNS WILL NOT BE CHALLENGED BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES AND THAT THE SCHOOL WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL TAX, PENALTIES, AND INTEREST AS A RESULT OF SUCH CHALLENGE. THE INCOME TAX RETURN OF THE SCHOOL FOR 2014 IS SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES, GENERALLY FOR THREE YEARS AFTER IT WAS FILED.
