“The memorial is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, except for taxes on unrelated business income, if any. U.s. Generally accepted accounting principles require that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more-likely-than-not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of december 31, 2024, the memorial has assessed its various tax positions, and it believes there are no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.”
