Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Fresh start, inc. Is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c) (3) of the internal revenue code and a similar provision of nebraska law. As such, income earned in the performance of its exempt purpose is not subject to income tax. Any income earned through activities not related to the exempt purpose is subject to income tax at normal corporate rates. The organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the organization's financial position, statements of activities or cash flows. Accordingly, the organization has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at december 31, 2025 and 2024. The organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The organization believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations prior to fiscal year ending december 31, 2022. The organization's policy is to classify income tax related interest and penalties in interest expense and other expenses, respectively.”
