Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“Independence Now is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Independence Now performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the years ended September 30, 2018 and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2015 through 2018 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which Independence Now files tax returns. It is Independence Now's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Independence Now is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Independence Now performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the years ended September 30, 2018 and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2015 through 2018 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which Independence Now files tax returns. It is Independence Now's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.
