FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The forum is liable for proxy taxes on the percentage of membership dues that were allocable to political or lobbying activities of the organization. The taxable amount of lobbying and political expenditures for the years ended december 31, 2019 and 2018 was 0. The liability for the proxy tax was 0 for 2019 and 2018. The forum adopted fasb asc 740-10 and accounting standards update (asu) 2009-06. As part of that adoption, the forum considered the possibility of uncertain tax positions and their impact on the financial position of the organization. The most significant tax positions of the organization are its tax-exempt status, the calculation of the proxy tax and the determination of unrelated business taxable income. As of december 31, 2019 and 2018, management did not identify any uncertain tax positions. The forum accrues interest and penalties (if applicable) in income taxes payable on the statement of financial position and records any expense in the provision for income taxes in the statement of activities and changes in net assets. The forum had no interest or penalties for the years ended december 31, 2019 and 2018. Pursuant to internal revenue service rules for the statute of limitations, the forum believes it is no longer subject to u.s. Federal, state, and local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2016.
