Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

ROUNDING 1.

Form 990 Part IX Lines 5 Thru 10, Part I Line 5 and Part V Line 2A

Caplaw has an agreement with action for boston community development, inc.(abcd), an unrelated 501(c)(3) exempt organization. Abcd employs attorneys and other help who spend all or a portion of their time on caplaw related matters and caplaw reimburses abcd for that time. All w-2s and related payroll tax returns are filed by abcd, under their tax identification number. Therefore, although caplaw is reporting amounts for salaries and related expenses, there are zero employees listed in part i line 5 and zero w-2's listed in part v line 2a.

Form 990 Part IV Line 28C

The organization answered no to this question but as further explanation the organization does have a business relationship with abcd, inc., an unrelated 501(c)(3) exempt organization of which john drew, who was previosly a director of this organization is president/ceo.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization follows the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes standard which requires the organization to report uncertain tax positions, related interest and penalties, and to adjust its assets and liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties accordingly. As of september 30, 2016 the organization determined there are no material unrecognized tax benefits to report. Information returns filed for the years ended september 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 remain subject to examination by the internal revenue service and the commonwealth of massachusetts. The organization does not expect that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.
