Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4

The endowment was established in 2007 for the early literacy fund. Ninety percent of the annual income may be spent on early literacy programs and the remaining ten percent will be reinvested.

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The center is a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization under section 501 (c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is not considered to be a private foundation as determined by the internal revenue service and is not subject to income taxes. The accounting standard which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the center may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the center and various positions related to the potential sources of income subject to unrelated business income tax (ubit). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the years ended december 31, 2024 and 2023. The center files annual information returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and the state of indiana. The center is generally no longer subject to income tax examination by federal or state agencies for years before 2021.
