Financial Statement Notes

Part X- Fin 48 Footnote

“Ssw is exempt from federal and state income tax (except taxes on unrelated business income) under section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code. Sswef is exempt from federal and state income tax (except taxes on unrelated business income) under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. No provision for income taxes is required for the years ended december 31, 2020 or 2021 since the organization had no taxable income from unrelated business activities. The income tax positions taken by the organization for any years open under the various statutes of limitations are that the organization continues to be exempt from income taxes and does not have net unrelated business income that would be subject to income taxes. The organization believes that there are no tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. None of the organization's federal or state income tax returns is currently under examination.”
