“The organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under internal revenue code section 501 (c) (3) and the tax laws of the state of tennessee. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require the organization to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the irs. The management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the organization and has concluded that as of june 30, 2016, no uncertain positions are taken or are expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The organization is no longer subject to u.s. Federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.”
