Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

“Form 990 was reviewed by management and provided to the governing body prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

“All financial transactions and new contractual obligations are examined by the finance department. Each new transaction is review for completeness and proper authorization. Any transaction that gives rise to questions is directed to the CFO and/or the CEO for further review and approval. If the CEO or CFO are the parties in question then the issue is elevated to a designated member of the board of directors. At year end, the finance department totals all transactions between related parties and creates an acknowledgement form for each member of the board of directors. The board members review and sign the form acknowledging the related transactions.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

“The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines compensation for the CEO and other officers of the organization on a yearly basis. The annual compensation adjustment is determined after the annual evaluation is completed and after obtaining appropriate data concerning comparable compensation for each position, including use of annual compensation surveys.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

“Public documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available for inspection at our office during normal business hours. Financial statements are also available via the web. The bylaws and other governing documents are not available for public inspection. Documents are available upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in IRC Section 6104(d).”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“FIN 48 Note from Audited Financial Statements TLI is incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois to operate as a charitable religious organization and is exempt from federal and state income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Management believes that it did not engage in any unrelated business activities; thus, no provision for income tax has been provided for the consolidated financial statements. The Organization's Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they have been filed. The Organization has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions. In accordance with the accounting standard on accounting for uncertain income taxes, TLI and TLF address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, TLI and TLF 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 taxexempt status of TLI and TLF, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business income taxable (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Management has determined that it was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0FIN 48 Note from Audited Financial Statements TLI is incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois to operate as a charitable religious organization and is exempt from federal and state income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Management believes that it did not engage in any unrelated business activities; thus, no provision for income tax has been provided for the consolidated financial statements. The Organization's Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they have been filed. The Organization has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions. In accordance with the accounting standard on accounting for uncertain income taxes, TLI and TLF address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under this guidance, TLI and TLF 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 taxexempt status of TLI and TLF, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business income taxable (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Management has determined that it was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023
