Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“Michelle brown and patrick brown are spouses.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3

“Commonlit delegated control over some management duties customarily performed by the direct supervision of officers, directors, trustees or key employees to rubino and company, chartered.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The organizations accountants provide a draft 990 to the board of directors and treasurer. The board and treasurer provide comments which the cpa firm incorporates. The cpa firm provides the final return to the ceo, who approves, signs, and submits.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Commonlit's management and board members are subject to a written conflict of interest policy. In addition to self-reporting by officers, directors, and key employees, management flags potential conflicts of interest regarding purchases, potential partnerships, and earned revenue opportunities. During 2020, no conflicts of interest were identified.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The board goes through the process to set officers salaries based on market salary information and previous compensation. Ceo compensation is set through a two-step process. First, a subcommittee of independent directors analyzes compensation of ceo's at peer and comparable entities and presents a recommendation to the full board of directors. Second, the full board of directors deliberates and votes on the recommendation. The ceo is totally recused from the process, including all discussions and all votes.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“All information will be provided upon request and approval of the governing body.”

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, the organization is a nonprofit organization and is exempt from federal taxes on income other than net unrelated business income. No provision for federal or state income taxes is required for the year ended december 31, 2020, as the organization had no taxable net unrelated business income. The organization follows the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes included in accounting standards codification topic 740-10, income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or exepected to be taken in a tax return. It is the organization's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expenses. The organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended december 31, 2020, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. The statute of limitations generally remains open for three tax years with the u.s. Federal jusrisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which the organization files tax returns.”

NO PROVISION FOR FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES IS REQUIRED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020, AS THE ORGANIZATION HAD NO TAXABLE NET UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS THE AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE RELATING TO ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES INCLUDED IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION TOPIC 740-10, INCOME TAXES. THESE PROVISIONS PROVIDE CONSISTENT GUIDANCE FOR THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRESCRIBE A THRESHOLD OF "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" FOR RECOGNITION AND DERECOGNITION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXEPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN.

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS GENERALLY REMAINS OPEN FOR THREE TAX YEARS WITH THE U.S. FEDERAL JUSRISDICTION OR THE VARIOUS STATES AND LOCAL JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH THE ORGANIZATION FILES TAX RETURNS.
