Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is generally exempt from income taxes, however, it does pay income taxes on net income derived from unrelated business activities. The organization has advertising revenues which is subject to tax on unrelated business income. At december 31, 2017 and 2016, the organization incurred a tax expense on this unrelated business activity of $751 and $963, respectively. Any current tax liability for this activity is not separately stated because it is immaterial. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The tax returns that may be subject to tax examination by the various tax agencies are 2013 and thereafter.”
