Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization has no unrecognized tax benefits at december 31, 2024 and 2023. The organization's federal and state income tax returns prior to 2021 and 2020, respectively, are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the organization and has concluded that, as of december 31, 2024 and 2023, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statement. The organization recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters, if applicable, as part of income tax expense and includes accrued interest and penalties with accounts payable and accrued expenses in the statements of financial position.”
