Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Organization's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Answer, Inc. had no unrelated business income during years 2025 and 2024 and therefore no provision for federal or state income taxes have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, the Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b) (1) (A) and has been classified as an agency that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) (2).”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the Organization's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Answer, Inc. had no unrelated business income during years 2025 and 2024 and therefore no provision for federal or state income taxes have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, the Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b) (1) (A) and has been classified as an agency that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a) (2).
