Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The school and friends are tax-exempt organizations under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and applicable state regulations and, accordingly, are exempt from federal and state taxes on income. The organization files form 990 tax returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and new york state. The tax returns for the years ended june 30, 2019 through june 30, 2022 are still subject to potential audit by the irs and new york state. Management of the organization believes it has no material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
