Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“The organization is operating as an organization exempt from income taxes under internal revenue code 501(c)(3) and applicable dc statutes. No provision for income taxes is required at september 30, 2016, as the organization had no net unrelated business income.the organization follows fasb asc 740 income taxes the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of"more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended september 30, 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any affect on its tax-exempt status. As of september 30, 2016, the statute of limitations for tax years 2012 through 2014 remains open with federal and dc authorities.”
