Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“No provision has been made for income taxes since the organization has qualified as a tax-exempt organization under the internal revenue code, section 501(c)(3), and its activities do not result in any income tax liability. The organization recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position if it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination. The organization has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition in the financial statements. In 2016, the irs notified the organization that their nonprofit status was revoked due to late filing of annual information returns. The organization subsequently completed and filed all late returns and submitted an application for retroactive reinstatement of tax exempt status. The organization's nonprofit status was fully reinstated during 2017, retroactive to the original date of revocation.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0NO PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE FOR INCOME TAXES SINCE THE ORGANIZATION HAS QUALIFIED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, SECTION 501(C)(3), AND ITS ACTIVITIES DO NOT RESULT IN ANY INCOME TAX LIABILITY. THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT EFFECTS OF A TAX POSITION IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE POSITION WILL NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. THE ORGANIZATION HAS NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT QUALIFY FOR RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. IN 2016, THE IRS NOTIFIED THE ORGANIZATION THAT THEIR NONPROFIT STATUS WAS REVOKED DUE TO LATE FILING OF ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURNS. THE ORGANIZATION SUBSEQUENTLY COMPLETED AND FILED ALL LATE RETURNS AND SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION FOR RETROACTIVE REINSTATEMENT OF TAX EXEMPT STATUS. THE ORGANIZATION'S NONPROFIT STATUS WAS FULLY REINSTATED DURING 2017, RETROACTIVE TO THE ORIGINAL DATE OF REVOCATION.
