Financial Statement Notes

Part X- Fin 48 Footnote

“The organization is exempt from federal income tax in accordance with section 501(c) (3) of the internal revenue code. Income, except that derived from sources unrelated to the entity's tax-exempt purpose, is not subject to tax. For the years ended december 31, 2019 or 2020, the organization unrelated business income. 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 believed 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 are currently under examination.”
