“Independence Now evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, Independence Now records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from 2021 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Independence Now evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, Independence Now records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from 2021 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities. |
