Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G

“Outside contracted service: program service expenses 365,802. Management and general expenses 0. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 365,802.”

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“In april, 2020, sam action received audited financial statements for the year ended 12/31/2018. Amended return reflects the audited financial statements. Balance sheet, statement of revenue, statement of functional expenses and schedule b are amended.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Under section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code, sam action 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, 2018, as sam action had no taxable net unrelated business income. Sam action follows the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes included in asc 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 expected to be taken in a tax return. It is sam action's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expenses. Sam action performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended december 31, 2018 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. Sam action's tax returns are subject to possible examination by the tax authorities. For the federal purposes, the tax returns generally remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines.”
