Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

Income tax status the organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(5) of the internal revenue code and similar state provisions. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose would be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization has also been classified as an entity that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the code. The organization's accounting policy is to present interest and penalties as components of the provision for income taxes. The organization's tax returns are subject to possible examination by taxing authorities. With few exceptions, the tax returns essentially remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns.
