Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt form income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Due to its tax-exempt status, the organization is not subject to u.s. Federal or state income taxes and, accordingly, no provision has been made for either federal or state income taxes. Management believes that the organization continues to qualify and to operate as designated. However, the organization's conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions, compliance with u.s. Federal and u.s. State tax laws, and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant taxing authorities. The organization remains liable for taxes on unrelated business income, if any. The organization recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The organization is no longer subject to u.s. Federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before the 2021 tax year.”

DUE TO ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES AND, ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE FOR EITHER FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO QUALIFY AND TO OPERATE AS DESIGNATED. HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION'S CONCLUSIONS MAY BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENT AT A LATER DATE BASED ON FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, QUESTIONING THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF DEDUCTIONS, THE NEXUS OF INCOME AMONG VARIOUS TAX JURISDICTIONS, COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. FEDERAL AND U.S. STATE TAX LAWS, AND CHANGES IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES AND PRECEDENTS OF THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITIES. THE ORGANIZATION REMAINS LIABLE FOR TAXES ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, IF ANY. THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT IMPACT OF A TAX POSITION WHEN IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. THE ORGANIZATION IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY TAX AUTHORITIES FOR THE YEARS BEFORE THE 2021 TAX YEAR.
