“SwedishAmerican Foundation has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating it is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. SA Foundation files a Form 990 (Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax). When this return is filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would ultimately be sustained. Examples of tax positions common to health systems include such matters as the following: tax-exempt status of each entity, the continued tax-exempt status of bonds issued by the obligated group, the nature, characterization and taxability of joint venture income and various positions relative to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). UBTI is reported on Internal Revenue Service Form 990-T, as appropriate. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized on settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with the tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Form 990 filed by the Corporation is subject to examination for up to three years from the extended due date of the return. The returns is no longer subject to examination for tax years ended before May 31, 2014.”
