Financial Statement Notes
Liability for Uncertain Tax Positions
“Form 990, schedule d, part x, line 2 mather lifeways, mather foundation, mather place (formerly mather healthcare, inc.), mather investments, nfp, mather possibilities, and the mather have received favorable determination letters from the internal revenue service stating that they are exempt from federal income taxes under the provisions of section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended, except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. The financial accounting standards board (fasb) issued guidance that requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, no provision for incomes taxes is reflected in these consolidated financial statements. The calendar years 2013 through 2016 are open to audit for federal income tax purposes. The entities of mather lifeways file tax returns in certain states; however, they do not file in every state. For all states where the entities have not filed a state return, all tax years remain open.”
