The association is required to evaluate tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the association's tax returns and recognize a tax liability if the association has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authorities. The association has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of december 31, 2018, there are no uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the combined statements of activities. If applicable, the association recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities in the combined statements of activities. Management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal and certain state taxing authorities. The association is no longer subject to u.s. Federal, state, and local, or non-u.s. Income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2015. As of and for the year ended december 31, 2018, the association did not have a liability for any unrecognized taxes. The association has no examinations in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax liabilities will significantly change in the next twelve months.”
