Financial Statement Notes

Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)

“The Center follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Centers financial statements, if any. As of year end, the Center had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements. The Centers policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through year end, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties.Generally, the tax years before the three prior tax years are no longer subject to examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities.”
