PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and section 26-51-303(a)(09) of the arkansas revenue and taxation code. The organization is required to assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination on the technical merits of the position assuming the taxing authority has full knowledge of all information. If the tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. The organization has determined there are no amounts to record as assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions.”
