Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Management has analyzed tax positions taken for filings with the internal revenue service and all state jurisdictions where the organization operates. Management believes that income tax filing positions would be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate that any adjustments would result in a material adverse effect on the organizations financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the organization has not recorded any reserves or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at december 31, 2020.”
