Financial Statement Notes

Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)

“GFI is exempt from Federal and local income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code on any net income derived from activities related to its exempt purpose. This code section enables GFI to accept donations that qualify as charitable contributions to the donor. GFI is subject to tax on net income from unrelated business activities. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, GFI did not recognize income tax expense in the accompanying financial statements as there was no unrelated business taxable income. GFI is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax exempt status that would require recognition in the accompanying financial statements, pursuant to accounting standards codification (ASC) for income taxes. Generally, tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for up to three years from the date a completed return is filed. If there are material omissions of income, tax returns may be subject to examination for up to six years. It is GFIs policy to recognize interest and/ or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, GFI did not recognize a liability as there were no uncertain tax positions.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0GFI is exempt from Federal and local income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code on any net income derived from activities related to its exempt purpose. This code section enables GFI to accept donations that qualify as charitable contributions to the donor. GFI is subject to tax on net income from unrelated business activities. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, GFI did not recognize income tax expense in the accompanying financial statements as there was no unrelated business taxable income. GFI is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax exempt status that would require recognition in the accompanying financial statements, pursuant to accounting standards codification (ASC) for income taxes. Generally, tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for up to three years from the date a completed return is filed. If there are material omissions of income, tax returns may be subject to examination for up to six years. It is GFIs policy to recognize interest and/ or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, GFI did not recognize a liability as there were no uncertain tax positions.
